I have a bike with tubeless ready rims and standard non-tubeless Continental Grand Sport Race 700x28 tyres. When the tyres are fitted then inflated with tubes they locate on the shoulders of the rim with a reassuring pop, just like a car tyre. I can't see any reason why these tyres can't be used tubeless.
I have googled this and the unfailing message is "don't do this, you will die!"
Why? As far as I can see all I need is the valve and sealant then I am good to go. The only possible snag will be getting the tyre to seal in the first place so I can inflate it but how is that any different to fitting a tubeless specific tyre?
