Oh man, tubular is what you had. Now, you can mount tubeless-ready tires on tubeless rims, inject 65 cc's of liquid latex, use an air compressor and the tire instantly seats the bead. Now, no tube and if you hit a nail or glss, the latex immediately seals the hole in the tire
You get like one tubeless flat that won't seal per yr. Totally awesome.
