I have two different presta adapters, one with a short shoulder and one that's a bit longer
There are certain presta valves that are too short for regular presta adapters

the only time i had issues with tubeless, i noticed there were molding flashes on the tyre bead. Sinnce ten, when i fit a new tyre, i first run some fine sand paper on the beads to make sure they are smooth and seat properly on the rim.
