Finally rode tubeless on the Reynolds Strikes i bought a while back. My go-to shop couldnt get the new tires to seat and hold over 85Psi...every excuse from blaming the tire, to the wheels being defective and even counterfit, the waxy film on the new tires, to road tubeless working better as a system ( same brand tire and wheel....) Took it elsewhere. Turns out the rim tape install was suspect and was damaged getting the tire on. The pricey Finish line sealant used that i never asked for was dumped in favor of good ol' Stans. Really hurt over the fact that i was being pushed towards buying a house brand tire as an alternative over going over their install, after they had charged me a ridiculous 2 hrs labor ( sour grapes over bringing tires to them)...whereas the shop that took care of the issue had both wheels in my hands holding 100psi 45 minutes later. Anyways,finally done and rolling nice.

Also dumped the old faded cork tape in favor of Fizik Performance, much deeper color better matches my saddle.
