You can, but the rim profile's not ideal. I'd suggest running some kind of rim protection like a Huck Norris on the rear at least as added insurance.

CSixx are about to release something that'll come in at a better price point, may be worth holding out for...

I run tubeless on my Raiders no problem. Since they're pinned rims air can escape through the joint while trying to seat them. So make sure you tape it up well and the sealent should take care of the joint. In the two or so years running them I've changed tyres once and topped up sealent a few times. They hold well.

I'm not sure what you mean. But the rims are fine for tubeless. 

 

I guess it depends on the tyres, tape and sealent you use too.

I've had trouble seating them at first. But once they're on they hold.

You'll need to pump them up every now and then but that goes for most tubeless setups anyways. Right now I've got the WTB Bronson and Wolverine folding combo.

Ryder valves and sealent with gorilla tape. No issues at all.

 

They're also lekker rims to ride with in general. They can take a beating and are wide enough by today's gravity standards. They're only about 100 grams heavier than a set of flows.

Droo laced them up for me ages ago and I've never had to true them.

A good wheel builder makes all the difference.

I have been running Raiders for around 2 years, tubeless with zero issues. The first time I filled them with air though, there was some air leaking at the join of the one rim on the sides. I added some extra Gorilla tape there and problem solved. I have Schwalbe Magic Mary and Hans Dampf which are TL Easy and the popped on the rim first shot!
