Anyone tried tubeless on my Velocity A23 rims, I believe the newer US made rims are tubeless ready Stans yellow tape, but perhaps not the older ones, but I am not sure how to tell.
Also am I right in saying the risk of trying standard tyres tubeless is minor burping and sidewalls being too porous or is it major tyre blowing off at speed.
There seems to be conflicting information and I did see a couple of sites suggesting the A23s rim profile (which is horrendous for getting tyres on and off) is specifically designed to allow one to use standard tyres in a tubeless set up. I would likely be using with wider >35mm tyres at lower <60psi, am I going to die?
