Got a [url= http://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/radon-slide-27.5-8.0-238562/wg_id-7247 ]Radon Slide 8.0[/url] the other week.

It came with crossroc xl wheels and hans dampf performance tyres. Got the valve things with it in a little bag too. Is it tubeless ready or do I need anything else?

Theoretically, should it work ok?

Mavic's website says they're UST rims, which means they can also be used with inner tubes:

If you've got the valves in a bag, it sounds like that bike has been built up with inner tubes - that's just my guess.

I think you only need the valves to go tubeless with those rims, i.e. they don't need a tubeless rim strip.

Maybe those tyres are not tubeless ready ? Hans Dampf tyres are available in tubeless versions but they're marked 'TL' somewhere on the sidewall.

A bit of Stan's jizz and you should be fine whether the tyres are properly tlr or not.
