Hi all, I have a 2018 Trek Marlin 7, currently stock.

I am have been trying to go tubeless on my bike, so have purchased the Bontrager tubeless strips and have managed to get the front tyre to seal (Bontrager XR2, 29x2.20), but when I come to the rear I just can't get it to seat (Bontrager XR2, 29x2.00).

I have tried all the normal tricks inc plenty of washing up liquid, air compressor (up to 160psi), pulling the tyre to the walls, ratchet strapped the tyre around the circumference.

Tried inflating inner tube and removing 1 bead, but never manage to get the tube out without disturbing the other bead.

Any help would be great

Are the tires "TLR"? I know the wheels come tubless ready, but I didn't think the tires were, as odd as that seems.
