As far as the Mtn bike test goes, I can vouch for the performance of a popular hi end Cross country wheelset with tubless tires that were so much more lively, and the option to run lower pressure without pinch flats was nice, the only catch is dealing with flats with a tubeless system.For X country racers, its a good gamble for sure.
