Are any wheels tubeless if you seal the spoke holes with electric tape and use a tubeless valve?

Answer 1

You can get conversion kits with rim tape.  However, you are better off getting a specific rim tape that has the indentations to accept a tubeless tyre.  You are looking at the tyre bedding into the rim tape and just going with ghetto might not be best.  Speaking of which, have a look on youtube for ghetto tubeless conversion.

Answer 2

I doubt electrical tape will seal the spoke holes adequately. And you have to have a rim and tire that are suitable; "regular" ones won't seal adequately. At best, you'll be riding around with a slow leak if you cut these corners.

Answer 3

Traditional clincher rims will not seat well enough against the tires to allow being run tubeless - Unless you do what’s called ”ghetto tubeless”.

You MIGHT be able to use electric tape in a TL setup, IF you have TL-ready rims and appropriate tires.

Given how thick and ”smeary” the adhesive on electric tape often is, I’d much prefer to use another kind of tape.

Answer 4

I don't think there are any tubeless tires out there. Perhaps if you have a solid wheel, without spokes, then a tubeless tire may be feasible.

There's a quick video at the top of the webpage.  So, NO...not just any rims (wheels) can be converted to tubeless.
