I did my best to follow the method outlined here:
Ghetto tubeless conversion DIY: tips and tricks | Ridemonkey Forums
Its my first attempt and so far I'm feeling optimistic given that more than a few people told me I'd need a compressor to get them sealed enough to hold air.
I suppose the proof will be in the pudding as they say and only riding on it will let me know the outcome.
I'll resist any urge to go fast down the hill where I live until it becomes obvious as to whether I might hope for some longevity from the seal.
I've my fingers crossed it'll still be holding air when I get up in about 7 hours tomorrow morning.
Be careful. Everybody's risk tolerance is different so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Even with Tubeless tires, when they let go/burp it can be all at once, I can only imagine if this decides it wants to go it may be catastrophic. Just keep that in mind and don't push it.
It was also written about 7 years ago when the tubeless thing was just gaining steam.
This based on $$ or time restraints?
