WTB to Offer Customized Wheels: Tubeless system co-developed by Mark Weir and Jason Moeschler

WTB's new TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) Wheel System is the newest option for light-weight tubeless tires, rims and wheels which allows riders to fully customize their set up for specific terrain and riding style. Features include WT69 metal alloy, tubeless compatible rim with lightweight rim tape, bladed WTB spokes with SwellBow, alloy nipples and a stainless steel cartridge bearings with dual labyrinth seals.
Looks like WTB copied Stan's NoTubes, choosing a similar-looking adhesive rim tape to seal a conventionally-drilled rim. Can't argue with success. --RC
WTB worked with a team of professional riders and engineers to develop the TCS Customized Integrated Wheel System. The product development team included WTB President Patrick Seidler, head of Product Development Mark Slate, and pro racers Mark Weir and Jason Moeschler. The team made TCS technology compatible with all UST, ISO and ETRTO standards, tires, rims, and wheels.
