dancing james-
Just had to many punctures that would not seal with stans. Effoetto mariposa has been much better.
Hookless rims for MTB great, for road not sure. It would require alot of testing with all tubeless tyres before I offer it. I worry about tyre blow off at higher pressures. You have to account for the end user not reading any warnings. I am not sure what the advantage would be for road either as burping is not a problem unless the rim beak hook is hopeless.
Hippy there is a guide on my website (news section) which goes through how to live with tubeless tyres and avoid faff. read it. there is a badly shot short video of how you fix a puncture. sidewall cuts can be dealt with too. My own experience of schwalbe tubeless tyres has not been great they puncture too easily. they are comfy though and have low Crr so they are not hopeless.

tough as old boots. I have them on my commutor and they take a long time to wear down. you'll manage it you do alot of miles but it will take you a while as well. Grippy as well and pretty puncture resistant. The punctures I have had in mine (two I think) have both self sealed. Dont use stans hippy, use orange seal or effetto mariposa. Stans cant seal punctures beyond about 50 psi.
90 psi is more than enough for a big tubeless tyre. try 70 psi. I run my 28mm IRC's as low as 50 psi and they feel fine. rode at 30 -40 psi due a puncture that sealed but I then could not be bothered pumping the tyre up till I got home 200 miles later. It was fine and reinflated to 80 psi without bother.
