Is there a tubeless compatible version of these rims
-
Nomad Mk II bikes were built to order or were built by someone that bought the frame to build it up to a complete bike.
Thus there could be a variety of rims. I suspect many if not most used Andra 30 rims. If that is what you have, you could check Ryde website for tubeless versions.
But CSS rims are not made any more, so if that is what you have, you can't get a CSS rim that is tubeless version.

Tubeless, 26", rim brake? I've not done an extensive search, but I think it unlikely there'll be much of a selection, if any. Tubeless became popular about the same sort of time as disc brakes became the norm and 26" was falling out of fashion. It's a size that'll be around for a long time, due the the volume of bikes about, but I'd be surprised if there was anything new offered in that size till it comes back into fashion. There's a choice of tubeless 26" tyres, but they're most probably all MTB knobblies, so even if you found some rims, you might not find the right tyres to take advantage.
I must admit I'm tubeless curious, but it'll wait till I'm starting a project from scratch, it isn't much of an up-charge where swapping is

I've just found "Velocity cliffhanger" ..My LBS said they aren't as strong as Ryde but are pretty good .

It's a rim with a great reputation, as it should have for the price, that's going to be an expensive upgrade to go tubeless!
