Jonz, I bought a Stan's CX strip, and wrapped it around the wheel. It covered the clinching groove so that my tires won't seat. What am I doing wrong? I'll post pictures tonight.

I have also ordered a Stans cyclocross strip. I will try installing it on the weekend. Frankly, "Tubeless Ready" is false advertising on these Alexrims ATD470 wheels. Very disappointing, given the quality of the rest of…
Electrical tape stretches too much unless you wrap several layers. I had a closer look at my rim last night. 18 mm (3/4") is too wide - you don't want tape in the groove where the tire bead sits because eventually…
I also have a new Renegade Expert. I am trying to go tubeless, but I keep finding I don't have all the bits and pieces. The wheels, despite being labeled as "tubeless ready" don't have tubeless rim tape. I am either…
