Going tubeless on M...
 

[Closed] Going tubeless on Mavic XC717 rims... A quick question....

OK, so I have a wheelset using Mavic XC 717 disc rims

I have Stans tubeless rim strips

I have Joes No Flats sealant

Which width rim tape do I need for the XC717 disc rims & how many layers of it?

I'll be using a Schwalbe Black Shark Mud Light & Schwalbe Nobby Nic Performance Line (or maybe Evo if I can afford it) tyres on this set up over winter

Apart from the fact that I'll die horribly from mixing Joe's & Stan's stuff on such an outdated wheelsize as a 26er... is there anything else I should know?

I've got a proper set of tubeless Mavic wheels and Schwalbe Racing Ralphs which have been flawless over summer & want to have a tubeless set up for winter too

Thanks in advance

Although when I did mine I just ran insulation tape round twice tightly, it's only to stop the rim strip going into the spoke holes and tearing.
I'm sure someone will be along shortly to tell me I'll die, but I haven't as yet ๐Ÿ˜‰

I used insulating tape, about two layers, & a Schwalbe 20" tube, with a threaded valve stem.
Worked fine.
