Going tubeless on SRAM Roam 50 wheels.

Howdy.

I have SRAM Roam 50 wheels on a new Canyon Spectral AL that I've had for a few weeks; and I was going to give tubeless a try.

Something I'm not 100% clear on though and wondered if anyone knows.

The rims are labelled as "UST Tubeless"; will I still need to add additional rim tape, or will these already be set up to run tubeless?

Thanks.

    Just whip out the tubes & fit tubeless valves, re-seat the tyres and give it a go, you'll need a decent track pump etc.

    Sorry I didn't get back sooner and thanks for the replies.

    I actually just went and tried it that evening, with some Stan's fluid and it worked great.

    First wheel, I made the mistake of popping the bead off on both sides which made the trackpump get no where near inflating it... but I have a small air compressor which did the trick :)

    Second wheel I left seated on one side and it inflated with no problems.

    Had a couple of rides on it and it's been spot on.
