Thank you, that's awesome

Conversion will be the cheaper solution then for now, what sealant did you use?

My LBS did it, I believe they use "Goat's milk", but you can probably use any number of sealants.

Same problem as the OP. I have a Rook Scout, and need 650b tubeless gravel tyres for winter, and I can't find any locally. 

Merlin only has the Schwalbe G-One, which has less tread than I want, but has a very appealing price. Ideally, I want the Conti Terra Speed 40 (rear) and Terra Trail 40/47 (front), but that's going to cost me R2000 on Amazon, before shipping and duties. My second choice, the Pirelli Cinturato M is even more expensive. 

Any leads on local suppliers? Or other ideas? I have toyed with testing 29' gravel wheels, but that's a whole other level of expense.

Not an option. I forgot to say that I can take 47mm max. All of Evo's other options are sold out, unless I missed something.

I have a Maxxis Rambler 650b x 47 I'd consider selling. It was fitted to the bike but never ridden. DM me if you are interested. Also have some Gravelking SK 650 x 1.9.

I have 2 x  Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H Classic Folding Gravel Tyre 27.5 45mm Tan wall inch that I bought and never used - brand new.
