Cheap 29er/700c wheelset that's tubeless compatible?
Anyone know of any? Want to go tubeless on all my bikes and this is last one left. QR135/9mm compatible and for disc brake, don't care if it's 6-bolt or centerlock as long as it's dirt cheap.

Also looking at 650b options as well. Hard to find anything in either size with 12mm thru axles front and rear so far in my research. I'll be checking in to see if anyone has some feedback.

Sounds like a good opportunity for you to learn how to build wheels

I can't go tubless on all my bikes (I have a dozen) because the stuff pools and dries if its not ridden regularly.

My problem is that most rims are for MTB with 15x100 and I need 12x100
and its not always clear how easy/difficult it is to change end caps.

Non omnino gravis
WTB i19 Wheelset, Shimano M435 Centerlock Hubs; $194 shipped @ Velomine
WTB i25 Wheelset, Novatec 6-Bolt hubs; $149 shipped @ Cycling Deal USA-- Free Conti Race King 2.2 Tires!
That second one is as cheap as you could expect to find, methinks. They ain't light, though.

Yep. Peruse the classifieds for used take-offs. I regularly see OEM tubeless wheelsets for sale and you can't get much cheaper than those.

Why not diy tubless? Will your rims not support it?

haven't checked lately, but when I wanted to ebay the wheels off my mtb, Shimano SLX wheels were selling for so little that I decided to keep mine.
