Is it possible to Tubeless a Schraeder rim.

I've got a Hope Pro2 front hub with Mavic 319 luminous yellow rim, but it's not a presta hole... it works fine running presta tubes, but i'm guessing it's not going to work if i try with a tubeless valve?

I personally use the stans schraeder valves on my rims.
Always hated the presta valves for some reason so never used them.

Im hoping that with the influx of wider rims that the schraeder valve will take over and banish the presta valve into the history books :mrgreen:

Some schraeder tubes have a lockring on the valve, you can cut the valve out and use that if you need to. Ifit has a removable core then even better, but you need a tool to remove it. Not essential though!

I had stans presta strips, when i converted my mavics i went down the route of a valve cut out of a tube, and a couple of wraps of gorilla tape. Much cheaper and just as effective...
