Hi!
I have a giant reign and P-AM2 wheels that have Hans Dampf setup tubeless. I rushed to buy tires on black friday and i realized that the new Hans Dampf i bought were actually clearance models and they have a wirebead and are non-tubless ready. can i setup my wheels tubeless still?
Thanks!

Google it, that question has been asked plenty of times on various forums.. It is possible but can be more difficult to seat.

Thanks, it is just really confusing with the mix of standards.

Yeah, it can be done, but man if they aren't a pain in the a$$. I'd make sure that you're using an air compressor and that you crank the PSI up on that baby. It'll also go on easier if you're using a tape that lets the tire bead slide more easily than does Gorilla Tape (e.g. Stan's or similar), and if you use a copious amount of soapy water when you're prepping.

Good luck!

Ghetto tubeless is reletively easy to do reguardless of the rim or tire. There's a ton of videos on that
