Hey pinkbike, call me a noob, but this is the first time I've owned tubeless, and I have a question: If my rims don't have spoke holes on the inside, do i still need tape? I googled this but couldn't find an answer. I know I need liquid sealant, but what about tape? There was a small layer of tape on the inside previously, but it was coming off, and there's nothing under it. Thanks!

yeah your be fine with no tape . Just make shore you give the sealant a good shack around the valve . Dont rush it you may think first time you have got it sealed but your get up the next day and they may loose some are so just keep shacking the sealant around
