Setting up Mavic EN521 tubeless

I know there's a million threads on the benefits or otherwise but I have a specific question.
How do I set up my Mavic EN521s to run tubeless as they aren't UST rims. Both summer and winter tyres (Bontrager MudX and WTB Mutano) are tubeless ready, so do I just need rim tape, valve and sealant or does the rim mean that I need to think about something else?

If the rim isn't tubeless ready you'll need to use a rim strip, not tape + valve.
Either a 'ghetto' conversion using a bmx tube to make the rim strip, or a kit like http://www.notubes.com/Freeride-Kit-P95C12.aspx. The kits are essentially an expensive way of doing exactly what the ghetto conversion does.
Either way, rim strip on, mount tyre, pour in some sealant, and get it inflated.0 -

i can confirm that ghetto 20" tubes with stans work a treat on en521 rims0
