I've just built up a set of Dually's, is anyone running these tubeless- what prep/setup did you need to do?
There seems to be a biit of conflicting info around on what's needed/the rim's suitability.

Will be running Chronicles, to begin with anyway, if that makes any difference.

TIA.

One wrap of gorilla tape and mine have been happy since last december. I topped up the stans about a month ago, running chronicles too

Had to use ghetto-tubeless (split-tube) and a couple of wraps of tape to pack-out the rim bed to make up for sloppy bead fit.

Same as tazzy with Chronicles but the Dirt Wizard seemed a bit loose, it went up ok but I could easily push the tyre off the bead so I now have a surly rim strip in there as well with no problems.

ssboggy what rim strip did you use please?

I've got 3 or 4 wraps of electrical tape which I needed for the knard, but like you I can get the DW to burp quite easily.

Same as ssboggy and clobber - Dirt Wizards are very burpy, but I think that's possibly down to the crappy thin sidewalls. They did go up very easy though. Oh, and one wrap of Stan's tape for me.

I used 2 wraps of gorilla tape on mine with Chronicles. and the only time they burped is when I was doing massive sideways skids on grass, showing off for my kids.

I put one of the Surly rimstrips that are for the rabbit hole rims, they aren't quite wide enough but when the tyre inflates the tyre bead drops off the tape and seems to be held in place by it. I.e. the tyre cannot be pushed away from the edge of the rim as its holding it in place.
Not had any problems so far with it.

I did use gorrila tape before and it did work but i hate the mess it leaves on the rim when you try to remove it
