I wonder if all tubeless presta valves (eg. mucoff, stan, etc...) should work on TLR Bontrager wheels. Or I need to but specific valves.

Also, what valve size should I get for wheels that are 44mm deep.
60 mm should do or I need 80mm?

I prefer the ones with cone-shaped gaskets at the bottom of the stem, which is the majority on the market. I also prefer the ones with enough internal diameter to pass a sealant syringe "needle" all the way through the stem, so that you can add "and* remove sealant without breaking the bead. I've been getting the Muc-Off aluminum stems, but others may fill the bill, too.

60mm stem should be long enough for 44mm rims. You can use 80 if you like them a bit long, but it’s not necessary. I take that back. Just did a little math, and you might not be able to get a pump on the 60mm.

I’d definitely recommend Bontrager stems. I set up my wife’s Bontrager TLR rims with their stems, and it was the easiest tubeless setup I’ve done. In an HED rim I wanted to make tubeless, I first tried a WTB stem and did not get good results. Switched to Bontrager stem, and it’s great.

If you are going to stick with the Bontrager tubeless rim strips, I'd use their valves, because the shape is designed to work with the strips. If not, any cone shaped one will work. I recommend ditching the rim strips and using normal tubeless tape like DT Swiss and then using a cone shaped valve of your choosing. I like the Muc Off ones but they all work pretty well...

DT Swiss tape is the best I've used. Just enough stretch to make it easy to install cleanly, as opposed to Stan's and the like, which is more prone to wrinkling and not laying flat across the entire rim bed.

I think the bontrager valves are shaped to conform to their rims so I'd go with those.

Exactly. Bontrager rim, Bontrager strip, Bontrager stem = best chance of happy results.

I’ve mixed/matched stuff for tubeless setup and sometimes had good luck, but other times wasted money and effort, only to start over again

They are shaped to conform to their tubeless rim strips. Like I said though, I feel like their rim strips are way more of a hassle than they are worth. Regular tubeless rim tape is much easier to deal with in my opinion. I have probably changed 100 of tires with the Bontrager tubeless strips at this point and I still hate them...

I got some of these and they work perfectly with 37 to 50 mm depth. I also have the rim strips and there are no issues with these valves. You can also mix and match colors.
