I've been running tubeless on my road wheels for about 2-years now without any problems. I converted my Mavic Open Pros using Stan's CX Rim Strips. I got them to work but must admit it was a bit challenging getting the Hutchinson Fusion Road Tubeless tires to seat. The Open Pros have a super deep rim cavity- much deeper than more modern rims. As such, harder to get tires to seat.
While I haven't had any problems, in the event the tire blew, I don't think it would stay on the rim very well, if at all. That being said, it wouldn't if I was using a standard tube setup, either. The ride, I must say, is very buttery. I'm sold on road tubeless for sure. Oh yeah, I have had one slow lead (read: no flats) in two years!
Could this the rim that can be run with low pressures for CX and NOT burp? The tubular replacer? If so, Stan will sell a gazillion of them. They go on sale in the Spring supposedly.
