TCS system - another tubeless question.

[Bear-uk]

Inflate it overnight to the max pressure the tyre says. 25 PSI is not enough to fully seal the bead .
Funny story about a tyre I did for a mate.
Shitty cheap rim and pretty crap tyre. Tyre said 40psi so I put 45psi in to fully seal it.
My mate picked it up about 1 hour later and I told him to drop the pressure when he got home.
So he put the wheel against a radiator in the hallway which was on as it was winter.
Resulting in a loud bang and covering the surrounding area in OKO fluid.
He was just cleaning the wifes coat when she walked in
I do believe a verbal bollocking followed

I popped onto the WTB website and found my rims (i30). On my rims they suggest 35mm tape so that’s what I went with.

Find the Rim tape on the website and use the drop-down to find the rim and it tells you. Good if you have WTB rims and very handy.

Mmm... 5mm wider than the rim? They do 34mm tape here!

Happy to report that both wheels are performing well, took the short 3 mile ride to One Planet at Llandegla this morning and had a blast around one of the trails. No issues

I'm having the " leaky seem " issue too.
Tried 5 times now with different rim tapes ( even gorilla tape) and everyone worse than the previous.
Used a liter of stans and 500ml of decathlon really thick stuff . The last attempt I put a smear of silicon over the seem and still leaked as bad
Might just wait till Christmas and the kids can buy me a set of Nukeproof neutron v2s

I had a bit of bother a few years ago with the wonky seams and DIY rim tape on my Haibike, the sealant was enough to stop it from leaking long term though.

I just did my new bike yesterday, and the Mavic UST system meant it was very straightforward getting it set up tubeless (yes, it came with tubes from the factory). Thank you Mavic!
