I'm tempted. I've currently got non-tubeless wheels (one set with OP rims, one set with Ambrosio Excellights) so I'm thinking of using Stans 21mm rim tape and the Hutch Fusion 2 tyre.
Anyone used it, or had a go on a bike with it, or done the rim tape thing, and want to comment?

A friend of mine converted his DT Mon Chasserals with a 26" tube ghetto stylee and a stock GP4000, to my (and I think his) surprise it went up, stayed up, and rode really nicely, he said the ride was slightly smoother, although it did need pumping up more often if that bothers you.
I use normal Fusion 2s and I think they're a great tyre, definitely be tempted by the tubeless ones.
I wouldn't attempt it with a standard tyre..... it may stay up but it wasn't designed for tubeless and I wouldn't fancy a 'guinea pig' moment at 50mph.
The advantages sound interesting - less punctures, lower pressures without hurting the rolling resistance but it's a new area so I'm still unsure as to fork out for the stuff.
Not sure I'd bother, If it's for training reliability then I'd side with Butyl tubes with the indestructible fusions (I use them). It simplifies things if you want to have a bash at racing, you can just slip those off and put some Pro3 or CorsaCX with latex tubes.
