Boeing said:hummm No tubes bro. re pump max pressure (especially if you add more stans or equivalent)to secure bead and deflate before ride to take advantage of low pressure possibility IE more traction no pinch flats. the issue with tubeless is letting tire sit at low pressure; it increases probability tire will detach from rim cornering. I just make it a habit now on mtn bike anyway

although I enjoy your approach here it is quite readable. even if you sound a lot like a dude who left here a bit ago. no need to look at his URL mods he is cool.
Don't let all the air out , just a bit . it doesn't take long on the trigger to let out 20 psi , and that wont do any rim detaching .
generally the glue between the tire and tire tape is weaker than the cement between rim and tire . Especially once the tire has 3 months on it .
I store all my old and new tubulars on old spoke less rims and they do retain their shape quite well . ( repump them up twoice a year , as they do lose pressure till their flat)
Cloth only stretches so far , its not like a solid rubber tire .
Once the tire tape is off or not reglued properly after a sew job to fix a flat , they become spares , no good for racing after that .
Although on a flat road race it wont matter much , they will get you home .
