I've just got my lb carbon rims built up and am about to give tubeless a go for the first time. I've got the 33 mm 26 version, could someone please tell me if the following valves will be ok:
And then is the following correct for rim tape?

Is there anything else that I need apart from the sealant? One thing I'm not clear on is rim strips vs rip tape. Presumably rim strips are instead of rim tape rather than in addition to rim tape?
Gorilla tape from B&Q/hobbycraft will be much cheaper and did the job fine on my mavic 719s for well over a year (they're probably fine now)
those valves will be fine, superstar ones marginally cheaper
I used Gorilla tape on my LB rims, worked well.
Another vote for gorilla tape*.
Screwfix had the narrow rolls for about £1.50 the other week.
*Also use it on 80mm fatbike rims.
Thanks good to know there's a cheaper option...the stans stuff does seem to be expensive for tape.
Are the valves ok? Wasn't sure if I need 35 or 44 mm valves?
buy this rim tape

gorilla tape is an ar$e to remove
Sorry scaled - I missed that you said the valves will be ok - thanks for that ill get a set ordered
I had to buy the longer stans valve as the 35mm were too short for my track pump and mini pump to clamp onto.
I used superstar yellow tape, not as good as stans but cheep cheep
