Thinking of going tubeless, and before researching the subject, I was wondering if anyone owning a RR 8.1 with the original rims has managed to go tubeless. Thanks

    Hows the quality of the rim tape inside? My rr5.2 rims are quite poor quality, the rim tape being wonky and not covering some of the spoke holes up fully.

    are the rims tubeless ready? if not you will need the rim kit anyway.

    Not sure if they are or not, TBH I don't know much about tubeless, hence the question. I did not want to start researching the subject, I was just checking if someone had already done it. I will have a look at the rim first, also I am due to go back to Decathlon to have my rear brake replaced under warranty (piston not going back completely) and I will ask the guy there. Thanks guys

    they aren't tubeless ready rims i dont think. I was assuming the OP was going to do ghetto tubeless.
