Rim Tape (no link because all of my rims have come with tape already installed.

Valve stems with removable core.

Core Removal Tool.

Orange Seal

Tire pump or air compressor to set the bead. I was able to set the bead on my new tires & rims with just the tire pump. On my first wheelset I had to use a compressor to set the bead on 2 different brands of tires. YMMV.

I can't really find any good info about those rims so I don't have specific advice, but I think this should have you covered.

My bike came with "tubeless ready" stan's iron cross rims. To set them up I just needed a few things:

  • Tubeless valve stem, something like this

  • Not technically required if your rims and tires are both fully "tubeless ready", but you probably will want some sealant; required if your tires aren't tubeless ready.

  • You still need some sort of rim tape (at least for mine - definitely still had spoke holes, although they are airtight I think); stan's said you needed yellow tape. I didn't want to buy this so I used gorilla tape; just take a roll of gorilla tape, following this guide. Might be overkill but it makes for a tighter fit on the bead anyway, and was cheap and easy.

    Good luck! going tubeless is awesome and well worth the hassle of learning how it works.
