Hi I'm sorry if this has been covered before but i can't find any thing. Are all tubeless valves the same? I have dt swiss front rim and wtb rear rim both are tubeless ready with the rim tape in place. Can I buy any tubeless valve or have they got to be dt swiss and wtb to match the rims? Then I'm assuming all I need after is the sealant.
Thanks Adam

    Any.

    Just check what type of rim tape you have. Not all rim tape actually seals the rim.

    The rim tape for tubeless should go bead to bead so the tyre doesn't seal to the wheel at all, you probably have normal rim tape in their.

    Any valve including one cut from an old tube (though removable core makes inflation much easier and cleaner!).
