There's one (probably small) portion of us that got left out :)
"tried it and went back to tubes"
I successfully used road tubeless (Hutchinson Fusion 2 tires with Stans sealant) around 2012/13 for gravel races. Now the Fusion 3 is their widely available tire, and I blew a sidewall about 5 miles into the first gravel ride with it.
I'm looking to ride a ~25mm width tubeless tire at 80 psi for the occasional gravel road on my training routes. Not interested in using them for paved races.
If there's another 24-27mm tire that is tubeless ready and more robust than the Fusion 3, maybe I'd give it a try again!
