No. Or, not with a reasonable amount of effort. A tubular tire gets its name because, well - it's tubular. It's like a length of garden hose joined end to end and the tube is already in it. It would be possible to cut it open, insert a tube and then stitch it back together again, but it would be a huge effort for very little merit. And it'd still not fit a clincher rim, the diameters are slightly different but more importantly the tubular tire doesn't have the reinforced edge required to make it stay put on a clincher rim.

∙ 6y agoDepends on:
- if your rims are made to be used as tubeless to start with
- how they're bent
If it's an overall bend of a big part of the rim - as in the wheel being out of true - then tubeless will still work.
If you have a sharp, very local flat spot or flared brake tracks, then tubeless might not work. You need a good fit between the bead of the tire and the rim to be able to run tubeless.
