I have factory on the front, unfortunately the rear had 2 spoke holes so had to replace. Inflate first just to double check.

On my first bike the rear wheel had a slow leak presumably from the tape. Front wheel worked great. Didnt bother to retape the rear wheel just continued with tubes.
On my second bike the factory tape worked fine the first time itself.
Inflate it without selant and leave overnight. Then you can apply the sealant if it holds pressure

I left the original tape on my Spectral when I converted it over and it worked perfectly. You can always re-tape if you have problems.

I wish this was advertised with the bikes. I went out in advance to buy tubeless supplies including tape.

Why would you re-tape? It says right there, “tubeless ready”.
Edit: do you not trust us? 😉 [Original tubless ready tape : r/bikewrench (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/bikewrench/comments/1dyc0dh/original_tubless_ready_tape/)
