Struggling to get a tire to convert to tubeless, 32 pegs and some giggles later and it's worked perfectly.
que? how do pegs help?
Pegs? Well now i am curious.
Duuuh, psychle - they make your bike sound like a motorbike, innit 😉
I used 32 pegs to pinch the sidewall of the tyre. This pulled the bead out towards the edge of the rim giving a better seal and allowing the tubeless tyre to inflate! Works a treat apart from the 32 pegs flying around the garage.

This sounds like a fun bonus to me.
Pegs in the sidewalls, must be a flimsy tyre?
Not overly flexible. It just gives enough pull to help the bead out towards the rim wall. I heard it from someone else but didn't think it would work. It actually works really well. I guess it replaces the tapping of the tyre.
