I have WTB 23 STi TCS rims with WTB Trail Boss and Beeline tyres.
To go tubeless, I believe, I just need a pair of valves and some "tubeless goo"!
Is that right?
Is all "tubeless goo" created equal?
Any recommendations?

What sort of rim tape are you using?

You may need wrap some Stans yellow tape round the rim first.

Haven't a clue I've not had the tyres off!
As TCS stands for Tubeless Compatible System I wouldn't need tape!?

If the rim has spoke nipple holes in it, you will need some tape.

I use a few wraps of electrical tape.

All goo is not equal. However, I use plain old art latex from ebay.

No need for expensive stuff.
