I would have used Schraeder if it was an option but not willing to drill out my deep carbon rims haha.
I’ve got a wheeler that I drilled out to schreader and they are so much better than presta. I’d have done the mtb wheels too but they are WTB rims and have a narrow central depression which the presta fits into nicely, I’m not sure how it’d fair with the wider schreader.
I’m not sure why schreader aren’t more popular for tubeless.

Great vid. Crazy how restrictive standard presta cores are. I would have used Schraeder if it was an option but not willing to drill out my deep carbon rims haha. I used to pull out the core when trying to seat the bead to get enough airflow and looks like it makes a massive difference.
Only problem I found with that method is once you remove the pump/tank you quickly have to replace the core to stop the air shooting out. Some combinations of tyre and rim could unseat if I didn’t do it quickly enough. Which is probably why I like the Fillmore design.
