Bet a single wall rim where the nipples really poke up would be a bitch to tape.
Absolutely, it's a shit show to do. Way back in the day, before I was able to afford just switching parts up, I had to convert non tubeless rims to tubeless rims, and what a nightmare it was. But eventually got it done. Was messy, and took several attempts, and didn't even hold air too well, but it got done lol.
Would it even be worth it, im 5'4 and 13 yrs old and like 120lbs, and i dont like workin too hard
Do it kid! build your own shit. Make crap products work for you. Lessons about bike mods learnt now will serve you for a lifetime.

lol u guys are funny. i just dont know cuz of tire burping and whatever, the bike its on is a 2015 diamondback db8
p.s. anything over like 50 bucks is out of budget bcuz i spent my life savings on 1 bike
a roll of gorilla tape- $7 or so pair of valves- $10- 15 sealant- $20 or more depending on how much you buy
that should be all it takes the rest is just your hard work.
if you can run low pressure and don't get flats often it probably doesnt make sense to do it except for the experience of learning how to do it.
it's not rocket surgery. I did it on my bike a month ago. just take your time and make sure everything is clean.
you also can go with the old old school ghetto tubeless setup with a 24" tube instead of tape, that might work better for non-tubless ready rims but I haven't tried it myself
