I guess if you cant run tubes with the rim strip in, then it makes sense not supplying them with the wheels. Still, it would be nice if they supplied them with the bike, they'd be more use to me than the average shock pump
IIRC, "tubeless ready" is more a reference to the bead hook on the rim being compatible with the UST standard. It doesn't have anything to do with whether the rim is sealed or not. Same with "tubeless-ready" tyres - they're not sealed, but the bead on them is compatible with the UST standard.Yeah, I'm not sure what Trek thinks "tubeless ready" means but it looked like a normal rim setup to me.
I ran a tube with the bonty strip for at least a week.Do any bikes actually come without tubes? I dont think the bonty rim strip setup will take a tube with the strip installed.
+1 for the setup though. Ran UST tyres on my dusters with the rim strips, absolutely flawless. Easy to install, easy to set the bead with a pump. No adhesive to worry about. Surprised other manufs havent followed suit.
Wow. Thats sick.holy crap my new ride is here...

Interesting mounting of the rear mech. Is that a new "standard" I spy? I read something about this a while ago, but can't remember what they called it...I'd better not tell you how good it rides then...
It's awesome, so much plusher and pairs well with new forks.The vivid air was one of the best upgrades I did on my reign. I loved it....how do you find it?
So, my Reign just got more badass!
