50mm Carbon Tubeless Options
I wanted to get the Campagnolo Bullet 50mm in tubeless, but according to the dealers I contacted, Campy couldn't get the valve to work. Anyone know of anything else available that would be comparable?

I just Googled for carbon tubeless a couple nights ago. Some links for Rol wheels came up, with hopes they'd have them in 2011. But they're not listed on their website. There was also another hopeful one...for later.
From what I remember reading about them, the issue is rim deformation under hard braking (on long descents). The carbon rim deforms, then the rim/tire seal goes all to heck. Velo magazine recently mentioned someone designing a road tubeless wheel with disc brakes. Later this summer, I think. It was not more than two issues ago, and perhaps in the most recent bikes and gear issue.

Thanks for the heads up about the Campy Bullet wheels. Just looked on their website. The Bullet Ultra 50 mm are 2-way fit wheels. I was unaware of that. Now thinking how nice it would be to have those wheels. Hmmmm.

Campy site says there available in 2 way, but dealers are telling me that they aren't available because they couldn't get the valve to work. So, not really sure.
