Tubeless rim- clincher tire. Rim tape?
It would seem the obvious answer is no since the rim bed is closed and nothing to puncture the tube. I googled it and found a warning from Continental regarding heat build up from braking may cause the tube to fail. I am installing clinchers on a new Ultegra tubeless rim. I know it would make it more difficult to install the tire with rim tape. What is the consensus on this? Thanks.

Good luck trying to install a tire after adding rim tape. Those Shimano rims are very difficult without tape, the added thickness won't help.
