Does anybody run marathons tubeless?

They look a good bit heftier than a standard road tyre so thinking of buying some to convert for a commuter.

Also how will i know if my bike has enough clearance?

Thanks
Christian

    The marathons have tough stiff side walls, I'd be very surprised if tubeless made any difference. they are the full size, vs race tyres, so expect them to be a big bigger.

    Cheers for the response

    I think i have changed my mind now and going for rubino pros. The tread is nothing like as agresive but they still look pretty strong

    i couldn't get mine to inflate tubless as the tyre was too stiff
