I've had 2 punctures in as many rides now so I'm thinking of taking the plunge.
I have arch ex rims and spesh purg 2bliss tyres. I've taped the rim with one loop of gorilla tape. Do I just need the valves and sealant now??

Err proberbly.

If I was you I'd get valve/sealent but seat the tyre and inflate it to make sure there's a good seal between tape and tyre, it's a bugger if the tyre is full of goo but won't inflate

I use 2bliss purgs but witha stans rim strip. They were really easy to do

Good luck

It sound like you've forgotten your special tubeless pants. Other than that you've got everything.

Good times!!!

Do tubeless wheels roll quicker or is that bobbins??

Take a look at the mags home page there's a bit by Dan on going tubeless. There's quite a lot of additional info after the piece by other members, it will give you all the info you need.
Best thing I ever done was to go tubeless.

And if they won't seal straightaway get some soapy water on them. It really is magic.

No, don't do that, your rims are tubeless ready, bodging it would be daft.

Make sure you have a decent track pump with a working pressure gauge ๐Ÿ˜ณ
