Hello,

I have been running Stans Flow rims with rim tape for 6 months with Maxxis High Roller rear and Minion front. These tyres are not tubeless ready but with a little sealant would they work or do I need proper tubeless ready tyres.

    They'll work, as long as they're not too old and baggy. Turn of yellow tape on the rim, valve, sealant, done.

    so what are you asking? you say that they work so what is the issue?

    Calm down, I thought it was implicit from this:
