Just got some Arch rims and am thinking of going tubeless with my 29er Maxxis Ignitor Exo tyres.
What bits do I need? Is it the yellow tape and the bit that looks like an innertube?
If so what advantage do tubeless rims have over normal ones as it doesn't seem there is much of one.
You'll need yellow tape, valve and sealant
This is a good deal

Get a bit bottle of fluid too. Saving over a normal tubeless convesion is the weight of the rubber rim strip (the bit that looks a bit like an inner tube). The tape is much lighter. Find my Stans rims are usually a bit easier to set up too.
if you are running arches you'll be better with the wider version of the tape as there are holes drilled in the rim that the narrow tape doesn't quite cover.
