Tubeless Setup

[Chinchillin]

I'm about to convert my Belgium+ to tubeless. What valves have people had luck with? Is there a kit that anyone recommends with valves and sealant (I already have rim tape). What's the best bang for your buck patch kit out there?

I used these tubeless valves:

I used this sealant for Road wheels:

I used this sealant for Off-Road wheels:

No issues with anything above. Plenty of colors available for valve stems. Fast shipping. No issues with either sealant type. The small bottle of orange seal does come with a nice applicator hose. I used HED tape as well that came with the Belgium + wheels. For Tires: I've used Schwalbe Pro1 700x25s

Thank you. I'll probably go with the Stan's all the time since I do more gravel riding. I'll be running Schwalbe G-one speeds.

Stan's makes nice valves too!

Pick up a couple extra valve cores so you can change them if they start to clog up...

I've had good luck using valve cores from old/flatted Conti tubes in Stan's tubeless valves. They are basically free.

ive had good luck with mariposa cafe latex. + their tubeless stems
but ive heard the tire makes the biggest difference. in regards to set up and reliability. ?

I also went all-in with Stan's.

Replaced the HED factory tape which looked a bit choppy around the valve hole. 2 wraps around.

No probs for the first season. Then when I went to clean out the dried sealant, it was NOT dried! So I left the other tire alone.
