Tubeless ready wheels and tires. The tape looked good to me. It’s been probably like 20-30 minutes and the leak has slowed but not stopped yet.
I have the tire inflated to 60psi

It’ll probably be ok. My DT Swiss E1900 leaked from the seam at first, but the sealant sorted it out.

Seams are normal. Many rims are pinned but not welded together.
I think that if it’s leaking then your tape is either too narrow or not good. The tire should seal against the tape, not the rim, so the tape needs to extend up the sides of the rim a little bit.

It should be fine after you’ve gone on a ride. Add some more sealant if you suspect it could do with more.

I have some DT swiss pinned rims that leak like this, and after years of this happening and leaking aor and going back and forth to tubes, I’ve finally just settled on using tubes. So frustrating.
