Do it. I've had good luck with the UST Minions and Geax TNT offerings.

Reasonably sure these days many pros run tubeless. I see a lot of Maxxis/Mavic combos out there and would be surprised if there were tubes in there. It's just speculation by me though.
I have used Stans before with really great success. Had been running tubeless with Crossmax SX/Bontrager tires, but a sideways look at the tires and I popped a hole in the sidewall... Will be running tubeless on my trail bike this season for sure...

I rode Deemax/Minons all last year, and they were great. I like to say that I rode them hard. Hard to the point I was trying to crack my frame to get a new one. And I did, with out a problem So reliable, never a flat, burp, or tear. I started the season with a Specialized tire on back, but flatted first ride. I had to sell my Deemax wheels this year because they dont fit my new bike, and cant afford new ones, so I had to go back to tubes. Not really looking forward to that at all.
I've switched to tubeless on my AM bike and was totally blown away with how well it works. What are peoples thoughts on tubeless on a DH rig? Are any pros using it?
