I've been riding tubeless less for about seven months and had no problems as people say you can run your tires real flat for grip or to smooth out the ride on a hard tail, you tend to lose a little air over time so topping up once a month is about right.

Dave I ran the nomad tubless on kinetics.. didnt like it as the tyre has to have a heavier construction to hold the air... wa finding that althought the lower presure gave more grip the tyre would roll a bit on heavy camber braking, this would squirt blasts of air out and then the air would be so low the tyre falls in on its self.

Plus the rear got nipped really quick and even with sealant in would lose air to fast.

shame really coz the principle is right just push bike tyres are needed to be so light that you spoil the feel with the tubeless construction.
