What are the chances of this working? Pacenti CL25 tubeless rims with Conti Cyclo X King tyres ( folding not tubeless) run tubeless?
If its worth a try how much of the rim do I tape. Just the bottom well or right up to the shoulder? Planning on using Gorilla tape as I have a stack.
Pressures?
Also can anyone suggest a reasonable CX tubeless tyre?

Rims will be fine but i have never had too much luck with Conti non-tubeless tyres they are too porous. They might stay up with a good dose of Stans race sealant.

My CX Pros took an age to seal with Stans on my Crests because, as mentioned, the sidewalls are porous. They are fine now and have been a pleasure to race at about 18 psi. The tyres are most definitely not tubeless anything. But they are the only 26" tyres availbale, which is what I needed.
