The thing (thing. Note the singular) that has kept me from trying to go tubeless is that apparently you need a compressor to get up inflate the tire for the first time. In all the time I've been riding bikes, a zefal hp pump was sufficient for getting up to pressure. I don't have a compressor; and I've never wanted one. I can pump air by hand, but not fast enough for a tubeless system.
