Oh, thanks for the reply. When you say “as long as it is a tubeless tire”, I’m assuming that you’re saying to not use a “tubeless ready” tire such as certain Hutchinson ones are marked.

I just picked up a used Dura Ace 7850 tubeless ready wheelset circa 2008 or so. It has a narrow 15mm inner diameter. The interior channels look more defined for accepting a (squared off looking) tubeless tire bead. I may go ahead and use 700x23 Hutchinson tires on this wheelset for practice to see how it works out before I switch over to trying to set up the A23’s for tubeless.
