Well if you are going to use the stans rimstrip its going to cost you more than R1000 including UST tyres.

 

Ask your bikeshop to tape your rims (special tape), buy the valves, tyres, stans or any other sealent and you are good to go, it will be the cheapest that way. You could use normal foldable tyres but its not recomended, I use it at the moment but the sidewalls are thin and its a bitch to seat them on the rim (crosmax rims).

Support local. I used a Batseal 29er conversion kit - R355, if memory serves - on Giant wheels and Crossmarks. Worked a treat. No issues. :thumbup:
