Tubeless just seems a little bit of a compromise, especially for a wheel-set that will only really be used for racing and training. I've got clinchers with fat slicks for work and getting around town.
Now considering a cheaper machine built wheelset, that'd give me some money for better tubs and a bigger white industries freewheel for muddier conditions. I'm currently using the Planet X model B clinchers and haven't had any problems so perhaps I should go for the Model As. Only 28 spokes though and it'd be nicer to have a wider rim.
