Does anybody have experience with a tubeless conversion? I see there are products out there that have a strip that covers the internal spoke nubs to make the wheel airtight. I'm curious how reliable they are.

Please let us know which kit or products you use for the conversion. I really wnt to be able to use the Stop ‘n Go tubeless puncture repair kit that has served me so well in the pastI have converted two different bikes. On one I had a tiny leak at a spoke nipple, re-sealed it, and never had another problem. I plan to do the CT125 when I swap tires, probably in summer of 2021. The lack of a safety bead does not bother me. If I were to air down for greater traction it might be more of a concern but I do not anticipate that situation.
This is a good idea. I only worry about leakage when traveling, so maybe bring a bottle with me.I may try to fit some old mousses next time i swap tires. For now the tubes with slime works fine, 15 years on the 74 without any issues...
Mousses are foam tire inserts, they are notoriously finicky with sizes and that is why I "may try" some day but no real issues with my tubes at all.This is a good idea. I only worry about leakage when traveling, so maybe bring a bottle with me.
Simple, solves the problem.
But I have never used it in real life. How does that thing work? Can you trust it?

Once a tube has lost it’s pressure what difference does the lack of a ‘safety bead’ make for a CT125?I thought about it, but there is no safety bead in these wheels, so i'll stick with tubes.
Done 100's of 60mph highway miles connecting the dirt. They work fine, but again so do tubes.PLATINUM = 10-12 psi “STANDARD” feel NITRO . This thing seems to be only designed for off-road racing
