We broke the cardinal rule and changed mine over 'guetto' with a Stans kit the night before a race. It was pretty easy and held perfect pressure all night and race. I ran right over a small barrell cactus during the race (got off course a bit) and we had to pick the needles out of the tire last night. Lost no pressure during the race. You can't ask for more than that!

I think you'll be more than happy with the setup.

One of my riding buddies got a set of road wheels a couple of months ago that can be used either way. He started off tubeless but switched back to clinchers within a few days. He was just too afraid of getting a flat.

new
After quite a few moons, I now have my new wheels (Jet Black) & tubeless tire set
I was all ready to use them last weekend until...7am saturday morning we heard BANG!..Whoops..one exploded tire..poo. Back to our bike shop dudes who redid them for me (they set them up & had a few issues with other tires doing this as well..)
This week, no explosions & raring to give them a go. I need to get them sorted before our event next weekend.
