First thing to remember is that a tubeless road tire is a clincher tire that does not require an inner tube to hold air. You can also mount a regular clincher with inner tube on a tubeless ready wheel, you just have to remove the tubeless valve. Since I bought my Campagnolo Shamal 2way fit wheels I have always used tubeless tires, but that was my choice. I could just as easily have used conventional tires if I had felt like doing so. I have some friends who own the same wheels and some have gone back to using conventional tires. Personally, I find road tubeless tires quite easy to install and inflate. Others have not had the same experience. The last time I changed a tire, I installed it on the rim and pumped it up using my floor pump, no difficulty at all
