    1. Do tubeless tires really make a difference?

    Depends. If you hardly get flats or like changing flats than no it's not
    worth it.

    If you ride in areas that are flat prone areas or use thru-axles front and
    back then it's worth it.

    2. Is the "Stan's" system any good?

    Never tryed Stans. I use the ghetto method.

    3. Has anybody used this system on WTB Speed Disc Rims?

    Ghetto method should work.

    Quoted message said:

    4. How well do they really hold air.

    The Ghetto method lose air about a pound a day. Not a problem for riding.

    5. notubes.com recommends not using CO2....that sucks. (this is a
    comment and not a question)

    Not sure if they mean to pop the bead or fix a flat. I wouldn't use it to
    pop the bead. You could waste a lot of CO2 if you fail to inflate. I have
    used it to reinflate when I discovered a slow leak on the trail.

    Although I've never flatted on my current tubed tires, I'm thinking
    about giving tubeless a try.

    May not be worth it if hardly flat. It is a fun experiment if you're the
    mad scientist type.
