Tubeless Question

I have had to shave down the valves a little bit before then put some sealant on the valve before closing use tire. It worked for me. Good luck.

Anyone know if the Shimano road valves work with these rims, or have experience with another brand of valve that fits. And where might I find these locally?

I've got a set of Shimano XT tubeless mtn wheels, and just found out that the typical Stan's valves don't seat low enough in the rim to seal up. I've also discovered that the original valves (as labeled in Shimanos tech docs) are really hard to find. Anyone know if the Shimano road valves work with these rims, or have experience with another brand of valve that fits. And where might I find these locally?

Thanks in advance,
