Our laced rims take the same tubeless tires found on cast wheels. It's just the difficulty of sealing the spoke nipples which forces us to run tubes (+ rim-strips). Don't they mark tires "tubeless" any more?

Edit to add: Wheel Works offers a proprietary sealing process for laced wheels.

I have no tube in my rear tire and it has been fine. Fat daddy 50 spoke. It's your call.
