If someone knows of a good tubeless set up tutorial I willing to try it and report back provided it costs no or little money. I have and old hazard lite wheel and old GLH I can use.

Gorilla tape your rim instead of rimtape. Cut a 16" tube down the centre, around the top and stretch it onto your rim. Put your tire on between the flaps of tubes with a bit of sealant. Pump it up, cut off the excess tube hanging out.

That seems like a lot of work for not a lot of payoff. Is the advantage just less weight?

It's usually heavier doing it this way. You've got added tape, tube and tire sealant. Benefits are that you can't get a pinch flat. Pretty much useless for BMX, great for MTB.
