Converting to tubeless?

I wanted to get some fatter tyres for my crossrip so I did some research and bought some Vittoria Terreno Dry TNT 38mm. Turns out I knew very little about tubeless conversion, and my wheels are just regular old straight edged road bike wheels.

The VTs specifically say hooked wheels only on the sides, so I should just send these back right?

I did many a ghetto tubeless and didn't do a die.
On relatively high pressures though, initially, but ended at 10psi sometimes and they still held.
Don't come back to me for dental insurance though

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
