I have a set of Deore wheels on my rigid bike and was thinking of converting them to tubeless. Anyone experienced any difficulties with this wheelset given it's not designed for tubeless?

leave the rim tape in place, mount bmx tube, slice it round circumference, wash out talc, mount tyre, inflate, deflate, squirt gizz in through valve ( have valve at 4 or 7 o'clock ), re-inflate, do the tubeless dance, cut off excess inner tube.
schwalbe tubes are good for this from merlin.

I've set these exact wheels up tubeless but using a Stans kit. Worked fine but it's quite a narrow rim so you can't run particularly low pressures without the tyre being a bit squirmy.
