Hey if anyone has bought the new Trek fuel 29er, does it cost extra to have a tubeless setup or is it free?

So, it seems even as a dealer there is no estimated delivery date for the EX8 29er if you order now, so I wouldn't hold your breath, spec wise, have some details - wheelset in bold

As it says above, comes tubeless ready at an RRP of £2499.00, but comes with tubes and you would have to convert yourself if you chose to do so0 -
Just order the Bontrager rimstrip & valves & sealant (i would go for Notubes) & it works.0
