So, about that. Seems to work so far, with caveats. I rode my annual 200k loop for the first time in a few years 🙄. I'd guess the route is about 1/4th to 1/3rd unpaved. No issues with the bodged tubeless setup, and cold brew with plenty of oat milk is a great beverage out riding.
On the other hand I've been prodded to educate myself on the matter. Apparently there's a risk of blowout when running non-tubeless tyres as tubeless. And the front actually had lost all air one day even though there seemed to be reasonable pressure left the same morning, which makes me think there may be a fairly narrow margin of operation to begin with. So this might not be a particularly good idea and I definitely don't endorse it.
Not yet sure what I'll do with the tyres next.
Edit. I realise that this thread doesn't need any more samey side shots, but I'm gonna claim I'm posting this mainly for myself.
