Had a miserable time over the weekend trying to setup my Genesis Longitude tubeless. All parts are tubeless ready WTB scraper i35 rims and 2.8" tyres. I was using 40mm WTB tape and Stans valves. The tire sat on the bead very easily with just a track pump, but I seem to be having a lot of leakage through the rim. Sealant was coming out the spoke holes and in some cases the nipples.
Is there a trick to setting the rim tape. I was struggling to get the tape to be tight when sticking it down and getting it to conform to the well of the rim. On one attempt it ripped when I pressed down on the center of the tape as it isn't stretchy.
Any tips?
