Here to whine. Been tubeless since around 2008 and never encountered this. Bought a front wheel that’s branded tubeless. Set up in usual way. tyre seats. latex spaffs everywhere through join in rim. ring place i bought wheel, they say the tape should contact the tyre hence should cover split. i’m like whah? Firstly, surely, regardless of tubeless, this can’t be OK for a rim. Second, I disagree, the tyre initially contacts the tape then locks against the rim itself. tape obviously seals over spoke holes.
