I helped a local friend spec her Clem L purchase recently, and we went with
upgraded lighter Velocity wheels and the Conti "Basketball" tires instead of
the usual Schwalbe rubber. The bike is of course not light, but it rolls like
a dream and she (an oboe player in her 60s) cruised a hilly loop today (17
miles, 1,200') and was NOT the last person in (all spaced out 100' or more)
So, tubeless may have some benefit, but there are good, ligher choices with
conventional set-ups too. To quote Queen, "Get on yer bikes and ride!"

Yes, you can ride lighter/plusher tires at lower pressure with tubeless for a
similar 'no flatting' result than what something like a Schwalbe with a tube
and puncture protection would offer. Sure, if you're light yourself and want to
ride thin tires with thin tubes then maybe the benefits are negated. I believe
we're talking about flat protection, too, in the context of this conversation
and who started the thread.
