I'm a fan of tubeless road tires and I've been running them for about 5 years, but I understand the pro's have had less than desirable results with tubeless and almost all if not all have gone back to sew-ups except for time trials when the lower rolling resistance matters.

I ran sew-ups for many years when I worked at a bike shop since the wholesale cost was easier to handle and I never thought changing on the road was too bad. I never bothered to glue them on out on the road, I just took it slow in the corners so I wouldn't roll one.

I've been thinking about going back to sew-ups since I can afford them a little more.
