@grm, agree with @yetidamo, there is very little out there off the peg. I've spent ages looking for (overthinking) the right tubeless rim/hub combo to fit my 135 OLD Pompino with wider CX tyres and sadly it all comes out at more than double the price of the bike build as custom seems to be the only way to go. So for what it's worth I'm looking at Kinlin rims (Hunt and Borg both use them) laced to Hope Trials hub on rear and Hope road on front. If i could build wheels I'd save myself a ton of money but i can't...

Ha, good to hear its getting some use. Even if traditional tyres/tubes have let you down.
The hubs on those wheels are (in my humble opinion) very good, so it might be worth rebuilding the hubs on something like the latest gen Open Pro rims which are tubeless. I'm using the latest open pro rims on my langster with tubeless Road tyres and they've been spot on. They do versions of the rim with or without a brake track so you can get some that will work nicely with the canti brakes.
As for off the peg tubeless singlespeed/fixed wheels, I'm really not sure what's out there. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can recommend something?
