I've road this set up, worked real good, pain in the @$$ to change tire though.

I have these for my dirt wheels where the width is narrow at the rim, but on SM wheels they will not work (too wide, 3.5 front and 5 rear).

 Anyone here tried the tubeless set-up for the spoked rims?

I have for a rear. Worked for a year plus until I sold the bike. I silicon-ed the spokes, and used a wide 14" tube cut to fit the valley of the rim. The tube had a threaded valve stem, and was sealed. I also used some glue to bond the tube to the rim, and ran a couple loops of safety wire on either edge of the tube.

Never leaked for the street. Keep in mind it was a Behr rim that has a good bead area.
