I had to redo the tape several times on my Sequoia Hayfields before they stopped leaking air through the spokes. But I was fitting 35mm tyres (Marathon Supremes) at higher pressures, so you might have an easier time of it.
On the other hand I've never had any trouble setting up non-tubeless-specific tyres, even wire bead ones, on tubeless-ready rims.

Thanks for the info. What tape were you using on them?
My yellow Tesa tape is in storage but I think I have the see-through green stuff somewhere here. I'm not sure on the width yet though. She's gonna ride the 45s around with tubes for a while so they take shape nicely before I try TLing them.
I also have my 700x50 GK SK+ from Badlands that I might give her instead. The Seq seems to have a tonne of clearance.

You don't happen to recall the internal rim width or the tape width you ended up using on these do you? I dragged out the green tape and according to (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223507265163) appears to be about 28.6mm wide.

I've got some 45mm tanwall WTB Riddlers on the grrls bike that are an old version and have no mention of tubelessness. Is there any reason (other than me producing more TLR rants) not to attempt to tubelessify them on her Sequoia Hayfield wheels?
