Both my bikes are now tubeless, and give me far less grief than tubes ever did. Best advice I can offer though, is to put the sealant in, and go out for a ride immediately! This gets the sealant everywhere around the tyre and beads and doing its job straight away.

Thanks, I think I'd prefer to go tubeless... but it's 30 years since I last changed a bike tyre/tube so I could do with a little more advice please... can you tell if there's a tube in without removing the tyre? Assuming there are tubes present, how do you convert to tubeless and what items are needed? I'm seeing rim strips, gorilla tape, special valves, enlarging of valve holes etc, I just don't know what applies to my wheels/tyres which I thought were supposed to be tubeless types already. I probably sound like a complete dumbass but I'm technically minded and keen to learn all aspects of maintenance and repair etc.
