I ask, as i'm about to do it, and if everyone says it'll be a disaster i might not bother...

Cheers, Andy

You will probably get away with it, I think.

Tubeless rim + tubeless tyre = excellent

Tubeless rim + non tubeless tyre = good

Non tubeless rim + tubeless tyre = great

Non tubeless rim + non tubeless tyre = maybe (if youre lucky)

I think thats about right. Of course depends on which tyre, and which rim.

I put a non-tubeless big earl on a tubeless 819 rim, inflated easily with a bmx tube as a rim strip - two very rocky rides in the Lakes later and it's been fine.

I do this all the time - along with many other people
Never failed yet

As for the OP
Yup no problem you'll need sealant & maybe a rim strip

Panaracer PR tyres will work too.
