Yes.

Mavic rims can be converted to tubeless operation with very few issues. And because these rims are for 36 spokes, the wheels they build into will true easily and go out of true reluctantly.

Note to Randy - you should be able to run a lot of different clincher setups on these if they're 700C. And if you want to jump into tubeless, a Stan's conversion kit should get you in business pretty quickly. Just make sure the tires are TLR-rated and have the special Aramid beads.
