i would say make yourself ready for asking yourself why you decided to go tubeless :). the learning curve in my garage was hours long. get ready for tight tires (Conti 5000) that are impossible to get on rim. or get ready for loose tires (GravelKing Slicks) that are impossibly loose and challenging to set the beads. tight tires make it easier to set the beads. loose tires are a pain in the butt to set the beads. regardless you might be successful with a standard floor pump but there's a high likelihood you'll need CO2 or compressor or an a cannister like an Airshot. the tough ones need a strong and quick blast of air. without the blast get ready for anger.
