I want to go tubeless so what will I need? I've got Schwalbe Fat albert UST's and Mavic Crossmax SX wheels - the 2012 model. The tubeless valves came with the wheels, so will I just need sealant, or will I need any rim tape etc?

If the shwalbes are proper UST as oppose to tubeless ready (TLR), then you just need to fit valves, fit tyres and pump like a man possessed until you pop the tyre bead onto the rim. I find a bit of watered down fairy liquid brushed around bead helps it pop on. I also use stans solution as a sealant - I've found that without this even proper UST tyres lose a bit of air, but the main benefit is if you get a puncture. Having said that you don't need it.

Unless you bought them 2nd hand you should have a got a mavic step by step guide.
