I like the sound of the stuff. So, to repeat my earlier question: tell me (y'all): can you convert any standard for-tube rim and tire combo to tubeless with off the shelf kit? I'd be particularly interested in converting 23 mm tires on narrow 19 mm outside width rims, and aforementioned 60mm+ Big Apples on 44 mm SnoCat SLs.
If "yes" to either, please point me to the appropriate product website. Thanks.
