• I had to redo the tape several times on my Sequoia Hayfields before they stopped leaking air through the spokes. But I was fitting 35mm tyres (Marathon Supremes) at higher pressures, so you might have an easier time of it.

    On the other hand I've never had any trouble setting up non-tubeless-specific tyres, even wire bead ones, on tubeless-ready rims.

  • Thanks for the info. What tape were you using on them?

    My yellow Tesa tape is in storage but I think I have the see-through green stuff somewhere here. I'm not sure on the width yet though. She's gonna ride the 45s around with tubes for a while so they take shape nicely before I try TLing them.

    I also have my 700x50 GK SK+ from Badlands that I might give her instead. The Seq seems to have a tonne of clearance.

  • It came with the see-through green stuff and then I rewrapped it with Gorilla tape (or B&M's equivalent: ‘T-Rex tape’). Haven't tried proper Tesa tape though I'm aware it's possibly better
