    I've just recently done mine using the Stan's kit. It was very easy, but I do have Bontrager Mud-X tyres which are tubeless ready so that made it a little easier to seal. However I had a lot of holes in the tyres, which I discovered when I tried to pump them up before adding the sealant, but once in it all sealed very quickly and has been fine for 4 weeks now.
    I didn't use the spoke tape that came in the kit - it wasn't needed for my Ritchey Pro Disc rims as the original is fine (as per Stan's site).

    Watch the videos here and you'll find all you need to know.

    as above you can use the appropriate stans kit, or you could do it ghetto tubeless (google for details).
