I loved and still love Velox but to be honest I don't even have any on hand. I can't tell you the last time I put some on. I bought a metric ton of high pressure strips in 20 and 23mm widths way back and still have them. Then for anything new that is tubeless ready they are all taped with tubeless tape even if they are going to be run with tubes.
The cheap single wall stuff I still use the cheap rubber strips. They still work and that's the customer they work well enough for. *shrug*.
