When @Howard says tougher to work with than their traditional counterparts he means TB14's are rims for real men with strong hands. Very strong hands...
Howard knows a lot more than me about tubeless but I've read some tubeless ready rims seal a lot more easily than others. The Stan's I'm looking at are supposed to seal really easily, for example.
Stans were decent to work with due to the way they designed the rim profile, you just need to grind it and bear the loud POP noise of the tyres bead hooking onto the rims, sound very unnerving thinking it might blow up.
Obviously never owned a pair of TB14's then ;)
