With the current cold temperatures, i find it harder than usual to get the tubeless tape to stick. Someone mentioned the Specialized rim strips further up in this thread; would that be a good alternative? If so, should i go with same width as the tubeless tape (1-2 mm wider than the rim)?

Ditto. I waited till it warmed up a bit. Or store your wheels inside and tape inside.

You are totally right, so I ended up inside with a hairdryer to get some proper heat. And the taping did work.

But that doesn't stop me from being slightly annoyed at the process and trying to find a better solution. So, rim strips will probably be tried, along with other possible solutions. And of course with tape and a hair dryer as back-up.

LOL Tape. 

Been using the Specialized Tubliss rim strips for a few years now without issue.
