I've got some non TL SB8s and Stans ZTR Rims, could I set this up tubeless easily enough? Read some postd on other forums that this is a pretty easy conversion?

Cheers

Yep.

T'is easy. Just get some of the stans rim strip (if they've not already got them on. Comes in various sizes - there's a selector tool on the link below) to seal the spoke holes, put one side of your tyre fully on, most of the other side, add a cup or 2 of sealant, fully put tyre on, pump like a crazy thing. It can help to seat some of the tyre onto the bead on both sides of the valve using a tyre lever to help stop the air from escaping.

Lots of vids on youtube too.

Forgot to mention you need special valves too. Either get some from superstar/nextdaytyres, etc or make your own by cutting up a couple of old innertubes..

See this thread too.
