Been running tubeless for the past 18 months. I would never go back to tubes. I have ran standard Minions and Highrollers (thinish sidewalls) on Flow rims and done big rocky decents on them without a puncture.
Last summer when running HR front and rear down the Rangers path on Snowdon I had no issue with the tyres, my mate had 3 pinch flats running with DH tubes.

I am running Schwalbe Muddy Mary tyres now and they have stronger thinker sidewalls than most standard tyres. The feel really good running at very low pressures. No tyre creep or burping yet.

Tubeless isn't too much trouble! I would rather faff around a bit in the shed than faffing around while out on the bike with tubes and fixing punctures ( I do carry 2 spare tubes with me though!)
 
It's a Super 110.2l 2013 Prototype 'Barrow that cost me more than I care to remember.
I'll never use it to it's full potential but I'm the only person that'll have one!
Plus, it's bigger than yours :D

Hit Afan and Cymcarn this weekend, group of 6 of us - was awesome! Cymcarn was more of a mission on the uphills than I remember but the final descent makes up for it!

nearly puked a bag of jelly babies up the first time I rode the Cwmcarn uphill :p

used the road up the second time - much easier :D

worth it for the freeride bit and the downhill

whites level was my fave so far, the energy bit and goodwood especially

Is that a DCD? Not seen one of those for years :D

(i know it's not actually a DCD, but its the same thing, right?)
 
Anyone got a gary fisher roscoe here? There's one in my LBS reduced from 2000 ish to 1300.

I'm thinking it looks a bit too AM focused? Really only need a solid XC though

Tell me about it, I havent been out on the bike properly for months so uphill was a challenge!

We rode Whites this time, preferred it to the Wall just about I think
