TCS - TUBELESS COMPATIBLE SYSTEM
TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is our standardized tubeless rim/tire system designed to meet international ETRTO standards and ensure ultimate reliability. Pairing WTB’s legendary casings and tread compounds with a tubeless aramid bead provides increased traction and reliability of a tubeless tire, at a lower weight than any tubed alternative. Our TCS system includes tires, rims, tape, sealant and valves to provide a comprehensive package of unrivaled tubeless performance and WTB reliability.
Required Components
• TCS Compatible Rims/Wheels
• Solid Strip
• TCS Rim Tape (always +5mm wider than internal rim diameter)
• TCS Tubeless Valves
• TCS Tubeless Compatible Tire
• TCS Tubeless Tire Sealant
Assembly Method
• Thoroughly clean rim with rubbing alcohol, or similar cleaning fluid that leaves no residue.
• Install Solid Strip, ensuring the valve hole lines up with the valve hole in the rim
• Thoroughly clean rim again once Solid Strip is in place
• Select TCS tape that is 5mm wider that the internal rim width. The TCS tape needs to follow the contour of the rim profile, so it will need to be 5mm wider to allow for this. (example: i30 rim = 35mm TCS tape)
• The TCS tape is used OVER the Solid Strip. Starting at 3 spokes from the valve, tape over the valve and continue for one lap of the wheel whilst pulling tight on tape as you go. When you back to the start, tape back over the valve hole again and finish 3 spokes to the other side of the valve. The tape overlap distance should be around 6 spokes in total with the valve hole being central. Cut the tape with clean, sharp scissors.
• Firmly press down on the tape to ensure proper adhesion. When pressed down fully, you should see the red Solid Strip showing through the TCS tape.
• Locate valve hole and pierce with sharp blade. Then turn the blade 90 degrees and pierce again to leave a small ‘X’ where the valve will be located.
• Insert TCS Valve and fit the valve nut (as tight as you can with your fingers) to complete the TCS setup.
