Hi I have searched the forum for tubeless conversion threads but couldn't seem to find any. I am running fulcrum red metal 5 rims with schwalbe folding nobby nics. I am wanting to know if it is possible to convert to tubeless and what is the best way of doing so. Thanks.

You need the stans standard rim strip kit...assuming you go down the stans route.
Regarding the tyre, I'd be warey of using a non tubeless ready tyre as my understanding is the bead is different..
Strengthened and also tighter on the rim according to schwalbe.
I have some tubeless ready racing Ralph's, I can't get these on without a tyre lever. However the non tubeless ready I can.
As I ask my 10year old boy…. "Did you look with your hands?" 😉

^^Cheers Real helpful buddy^^ As much as I like this site I think its layout is far from user friendly. Sorry if I fail to meet your standards slackalice
TBH gee, I also find the search function on this forum a PITA. Probably works well for those involved in IT on a daily basis, or familiar with database search queries, but for us mere mortals I find it takes me several attempts with different words to produce the results I was looking for!!
My apologies if I came across in an admonishing manner - not my intention!
FWIW, I went tubeless earlier this year, following the Notubes method on one bike and ghetto on the other. Both have been trouble free and holding up very well.
^^ No worries. Thanks for the Advice ive been thinking of doing the very same ghetto conversion. Thanks. ^^
