Excellent video! This should be prominently linked from every page on the WTB site that mentions TCS or any TCS product. I had to find it through UA-cam.
Excellent tutorial best ive watched so far . To convert from tubes to tuneless Ive got a tough wtb Ranger to fit on my 27 plus bike as well as a conti crossking for the summer . The ranger is heavier tyre si do u think that would be better as a front tyre .? Or just keeo on my maxxid high roller on the front and bung the ranger on the rear ? :)
Hey there, awesome to hear you enjoyed the tutorial! Generally people like to fit the 'heavier' tyre to the rear as that's usually where you need the more supportive casing. The Ranger is also a smaller & fast rolling tread design than the High Roller, and usually that lends it's to being a more efficient rear tyre too. Hope this helps!
@@WTBtv I do have 1 more question that I hope you can answer. I have a Schwinn Axum and the rear dropout is a 141qr. I know you make that in the ST i30, but do you make any other 29in (141qr 6bolt disc) rear wheel?? TY
Hey there, you need to look for the TCS logo on the graphics. If you see the logo then they are tubeless ready, but if there's no logo then it's tubes only. Hope this helps!
Is the sealeant thin enough to fill up through the valve? (Sclaverand) Or only recommend to pop out one side of the tire bead and fill up? Trough the valve is just sooo quick done.
@@callmedd3494 Hey! The wheels can set up tubeless without the red strip - you just won't have the extra protection against broken spokes etc. You will need a well fitted layer of tubeless tape though, as that is crucial to the setup. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the feedback Adrian! I'll certainly see if that's an option :)
Very useful. Thanks.

@@WTBtv wtb ranger on the rear . OK many thanks I will bung that on this week tubeless 😅👍cheers 🍻
Great job!! I'll be getting some TCS WTB wheels very soon. Will be my 1st time going tubeless. Just wondering what exact tire you used??? Tia
Hey! Thanks for watching. Do you mean how long it takes to set a wheel up tubeless?
@@WTBtv im sorry. Typo. Tire? Ty
@@mikeburgh3956 Hey again, sorry my bad not reading properly! The tire in the video is a Vigilante Tough High Grip 29' x 2.5
@@WTBtv oh no you read correctly lol I edited it! Ty for your response, I'm definitely looking into these tires a long with a STI30 wheelset 🤟🏻

I recently got a Transition Spur that came with WTB ST i25 rims are they the same as the KOM lights? thanks in advance.
They've very similar. The will look identical, but the aluminium used is slightly different. Hope this helps!
@@WTBtv Thank you. So these OEM ones are slightly heavier than the other ones I guess.
In the WTB SX19, is it possible to go tubeless? I didn't see this information on the website

Hey Kai. When installing a new tire it's best to shake & pour straight into the tire, but you can certainly top-up through the valve :)
My WTB wheelset i30 TCS 2.0 came with tubes. I don't see the red strip. There is a black strip. Should I remove that?
