I've ridden a trail is SE Tenn. (Bush Creek) where I was the only one out of four who didn't flat.
I use the Stan's conversion of tube tires vice true tubeless tires to save rotating mass as I like good acceleration. The tubeless tires are just too heavy. I do happen to have rims designed for tubeless tires, but with Stan's, that's not necessary.
