It’s made entirely of tape... I will say that to make a tape disc you need a rim that has the v shaped part inside of the braking area (some rims have this part being 3-4” wide), but basically, you take tape and go across the rim’s diameter, stretching the tape semi tight and attaching it to the place I described... make sure you have generous amounts of tape overlap and that your rim is perfectly clean (I’m having issues with tape sticking because I didn’t clean enough)...

On one side you have the option of taping the disc to the spokes from the back side but for obvious reasons you can’t do it on both sides... I used 4” wide masking tape for my bottom layer and then covered it with the strapping tape I use for almost everything... haven’t test ridden yet though, so I don’t know exactly how well it’ll work...
