Sorry, I don't think I was clear.
I have compatible wheels and tires, but I'm unclear if I need to use "tubeless rim tape" with it, or if that's for people converting conventional rim to tubeless.
I think I don't need it, as both my rim and tire are marked "tubeless ready"... but not sure.
Ok, so here's one more question
I went to take the tire off the rim, and it was quite difficult. When it finally "broke free", I could see what looked to be some sort of blue adhesive tearing... so I stopped. Would that be the pre-installed tubeless rim tape? It wouldn't be sealant in a tube/tire, would it? Remember, this is my front tire, and that one was NOT converted by the last owner to tubeless (only the rear).
