This is great reading IMO:

+1 to that!
I considered converting my current setup until I read that article and talked to a couple of my teammates running tubeless and found that it's not a one-size-fits-all solution, and there's a lot of farting around with rim/strip/tire combos if you're not using one of the "known good" setups.

In the end my decision was "I'm just not that concerned with it to spend the time and money when I'm already happy with my current clincher setups." Then I bought a new video camera instead. Race footage this year is gonna be awesome.
