Totally with you here and went tubeless on all my bikes. Less weight, smoother ride, and self-sealing for most cuts. Easy to convert after the inicial intimidation. Although most likely not recommended, I went tubeless on tubeless rims without issue as long as they are hooked rims with imbedded spokes.
