Bontrager tlr rim strips
I have a set of Bontrager Racing Rims that are "tubless ready".
I am thinking about making the big switch to tubless.
Do I have to use the Bontrager TLR strips or can I use any tubeless right rim tap?

The rim strips are a necessary component. They have co-molded ridges to retain the bead from sideways forces. The rims themselves have no retention ridges on them.

Probably the easiest thing would be to go into nearly any Trek retailer. Retail on the strips is like $10. You'll also need tubeless valves--most will work. They're a bit tricky to get on clean--if you mangle the strip getting it on, it can effect the bead set. Bontrager wheels do set up really easy with the provided strips and TLR tires, though.
