I'm sending the hubs to Pete next month to be built up with 511's which are more narrow but still tubeless. I like the tubeless.
FWIW, I ran tubed tires on the Eastons for over a year and they don't mount up that well but tubeless tires were flawless. The hook bead on the Eastons is optimized for tubeless and if I had a tubed tire going down, it would likely come off the rim. Didn't seem to matter what brand.
