Tubeless on a Road Bike
Anyone running a tubeless setup on their road bike. I,m not talking tubs here, i'm thinking Stans type setup like on a mtb.
Any opinions - good idea or not?

Actually it seems possible (albeit with those tyres only) according to this page:
"What do I need?
If your rim has traditional spoke hole drillings start with one roll of NoTubes 21mm yellow spoke tape (will do 2 layers on 2 rims), two 44mm tubeless road valve stem, two Hutchinson Fusion 2 road tubeless tires and 2oz of NoTubes sealant per tire."

I still don't get why std tyres will "stretch and blow off the rim" when they manage fine with a tube in them...and how the hutch tyres will work on std rims (unlike mtb)
I'm thinking about it! I've emailed JRA to see what they say. max pressure is 33psi and I've asked to know why. I bet they say "don't do it" but I've asked "why?" so I can evaluate the risks myself.
I've not looked at who else does tubeless rims, but I will (suspect it will be pricey wheels only).
I'll try to remember to update the thread if I get anywhere.
i've tested the hutchinson road tubeless tyres.
there's a review here:
