Lets say I wanted to convert my Crests 29 to Tubeless.

I've just bought some http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/bontrager-29er-mud-team-issue-29x2-tyre-id74400.html

Bontrager mud team. To go on for winter, I've got other wheels too, but these will do the majority of my riding for winter.

So I was looking at

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Joes-No-Flats-AM-19-25mm-Rims-Tubeless-Tyre-System-Conversion-Kit-Joes-Schrader-/231335944235?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item35dcb2602b

Joes No flats kit.

This appropriate ? If not... link to what is please ?

It's not not appropriate, but it's more than you need.

I'd get [url= http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/tubeless-tape.htm ]this[/url] in 21mm, [url= http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/brass-tubeless-valve.htm ]these[/url] and [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/stans-no-tubes-the-solution-tyre-sealant-2014/rp-prod38850?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Shopping&utm_name=UnitedKingdom&gs=1&gclid=CLu7r4X10cECFcfMtAodb3kADQ&gclsrc=aw.ds ]this[/url], the bigger size is better value, it lasts ages.

For crests, you just need the yellow tape.

This kit has all you need, although for large volujme/29er tyres you might want a bit more sealant than just one small bottle per tyre.

Just for the sake of repeating what everybody already wrote....

Yellow tape, some valves and a bottle of spooge is all you need. The set on the crc site is fine, but if I were you, I'd buy a larger bottle too.

Just done this on some Giant P-XC2 29 wheels, there sitting at the shed still at 35psi as I type.
