deep wheels looking banging

Ha, I tubeless'd a set of non tubeless Conti tyres a couple years back by just pouring sealant into the valve and taking them for a quick spin until they didn't go soft overnight. Took a week I think. Great tyres, really miss that bike.

How is your tubeless conversion holding up?
I have some Spinergy Rev X wheels that would be perfect for a tubeless conversion. Unfortunately they are 650c and there a hardly any tires available for that size, let alone tubeless ones.

Last night I managed to setup some Conti Speed Kings tubeless.
They are not made for tubeless and the super light casing doesn't hold air at all. But they pop on the rim alright and gets seated quickly so I thought it was worth giving it a shot.
Basically I painted two layers of natural latex to the insides and let cure before mounting to the rims again. Then filled it with 75mm sealant and boom. I got tubeless tires. Very happy as I absolutely love Speed Kings and find it sad that they don't come tubeless.
Hopefully the latex doesn't change the feel of the tyres too much.
