Before doing this, you’ll find the best installation instructions from original makers of the no-tubes conversion: Stans No-Tubes website.

You’ll need to get Stan to make you a custom 36″ Rim Strip, as well as order the Sealant from him.  However, many bike shops have the Stans Sealant in stock.  In which case, you may be able to get up and running much quicker with Eric Evenchicks 29’er custom 29’er Rim strip.

How to convert using 29’er Rim Strip (as described by Eric Evenchick)

1 ) Get the following items: 29″ tube, Stans “The Solution” sealant, a knife, scissors, an air compressor.
2 ) Take off your tire, and remove your tube.
3 ) Inflate the 29″ tube very slightly.
4 ) Make a small cut in the outside seam of the tube. This is the seam that is directly across from the valve.
5 ) Cut along that seam with scissors. Be careful not to puncture the tube!
6 ) Stretch your newly made rim strip over your wheel.
7 ) Put one bead of the tire on without using tools (tools are likely to damage the rim strip.) This isn’t easy, soap on the bead of the tire will help a lot.
8 ) Hang the tire in a place with a floor that you don’t mind getting dirty. Pour sealant into the bottom of the tire (I used 2.5 scoops)
9 ) Shake… Be careful, sealant can leak out, but this will help during inflation.
10 ) Inflate! This will require an air compressor. I tried many times with a very good pump (Joe Blow Sport) but had no luck. I just used a gas station compressor. You will need to play around with the tire right at the valve in order to get the air to flow into the tire. I had to push down on the tire above the valve to get the bead to expand. Once I did this, the tire inflated right away. I’ve got mine running around 35 PSI and since I’m really light, I have no reason to go to a higher pressure.
