Has anyone converted their Mavic Aksium wheelset to tubeless?
Did it work? Was it worth it?

    Yes, with two layers of Tesa 4289 tape and Stan's NoTubes valves with Schwalbe Doc Blue latex. I drove with Hutchinson Fusion 3 and with Schwalbe One and the Pro all tubeless tyres. It works fine and it is worth to drive 'tubeless'.! :wink:
