Tubeless Road Tires Can't Post

I'm looking at switching my clincher tires to the Hutchinson Fusion 2 Tubeless Road Tires and I'm looking for some insight for others who have done the same - Good or Bad.

Thanks and hammer on!

Re: Tubeless Road Tires [djsironman] [In reply to] Can't Post

On some road bike review forums there have been passionate feelings both ways. Basically, the set up is pretty tricky, but once you're set up its pretty sweet.

Apparently you can jerry-rig most wheels to run tubeless. We're testing the new HED C2 rims with the Stan's tubeless, but we're not letting it go public until we roll the tire off the rim to see what it takes. Otherwise the DuraAce wheels are great all around wheels that were designed for that tire and have had decent enough feedback from some pros. That said, my coach is on a pro team sponsored by Shimano and hutch and they still run the standard tube and tire set up...
