OP, if your wheels are tubeless ready, I urge you to think in a new direction. Previously, I vowed to NEVER convert to road tubeless. But after the industry pretty much switched all new wheels to tubeless ready, and tires followed suit, it became such a miserable experience to change a flat on the side of the road that I reconsidered. Now, I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner. I'm not talking about better rolling resistance or weight reductions or road feel. Just ease of roadside maintenance. I simply carry a dynaplug racer pro in my pocket (it's half the size of a cheap ballpoint pen) and forget about it. No tools, no worries.
