How can I tell if my rim is tubeless ready?
A tubeless ready rim will have a sidewall with a hooked design, which helps catch and hold the bead. Older rims will appear rounded without a hook shape. The shape of the rim will force the bead up snug against the outer hook, and will have a deep section in the middle to make it easier to remove.

Do I need tape for tubeless ready wheels?
If your rim is tubeless ready (with holes), cover the holes completely with a layer of thin tape. This will prevent the tube from being cut on the edge of the spoke holes on the center channel. For lower pressure rims, we use one layer of rim tape. For higher pressure (over 50psi) two layers of tape are required.
