Just posting up here to say if anyone ever needs any specific advice my inbox is always open, be that email or PM. I don't check here very often but I will try to moving forward.
(I am Mack Workshop, btw)
I also have a youtube channel with tutorials, including a video on what kinda machine to look for, where to source materials, etc. which is here https://www.youtube.com/c/MackWorkshop. I don't update it very often at the moment but if people have requests for videos I'd be more than happy to.

And that video is why I nerged OP.
I agree with Andy, very misleading ad, but hope that it all gets sorted out for Dom's sake (and also the sake of Daz's reputation on the forum).

OP nerged.

I've written in here already but Jordan is such a dude and my bag is so good that I thought i'd post up and say everyone should buy his stuff.

Well this got incredibly off topic.
On my road bike I run 404's, tubs, with Corsa Pave Evo CG's. I keep a spare tub in my saddle bag, and I have a pack which I put in my pocket which has a can of Pit Stop in. I tape my tubs, and it's a piece of piss. I used to glue them, and found that people bitch and cry far too much about the process. I used to glue a pair in an hour and a half and have never rolled a tub. 100PSI, 74kg including bike.
MTB has Stans ZTR Crest rims with Rocket Ron's, tubeless. I tape them with Kapton tape which is what American Classic sell at a ridiculous mark up. They seated easily although lost air overnight despite putting sealant in. I pumped them back up, rode it, and since then they've not lost any air at all.
Fixed currently has tubes, I just thought tubeless might be a good idea as I forever worry about punctures despite my commute only being a couple of miles, but as I've started using my fixed a lot more often, I just want a more secure solution where I can run decent tyres and still get puncture protection, for me, that's the appeal of tubeless.
Feel free to carry on this discussion any way you want.

By going tubeless you'll be limiting your tyre options as road tubeless tyres aren't common yet .. and I'm sure I read somewhere you can't just 'ghetto' clincher road tyres like you can MTB tyres because of the extra air pressure needed lifting the bead.
I don't see how I'm limiting myself, really. Until there are more tubeless tyres on the market, I can run standard tyre/tube. When tubeless tyres are more prevalent, I can put them on. I was just wondering if anyone had had any success doing it yet.
