I was under no illusions about tubeless, or any other hunk of rubber. But a previous comment in this thread claimed that you couldn't pinch flat (you can) and the sealant will plug punctures (yes, but only really, really small ones).

I'll stick with my current setup. Rides really nice, and VERY easy to maintain. Tubeless, in its current form, is just a huge pain in the ass. You need a crow bar to get the damned things off. And I just loved having to dig that valve out to use a tube in order to get home.
