Same with the Hutchinson. The tire won't roll off of the rim.

Not to say your handling won't get all screwy, you'll hit a rock, or anything else and you'll crash anyway, but it could save you.

The Hutchinsons got good reviews on CyclingNews (http://www.cyclingnews.com/tech.php?...insontubeless). I can see the benefits, and it's actually not too high of a price. I'd like to ride it and see if it does feel a lot different as they claim.
