Nigel - Can you describe exactly how you manage to mount the tires and get the bead to snap into place? Do you do it without a compressor?

Most new bikes are coming with tubeless compatible rims that have clinchers ( Tires with tubes ) mounted on them . First you have to buy a tubeless valve stem, rim tape, sealant and tubeless tires ( about $250.00 ).Then you need to converted the rim to tubeless  ( see video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4MBjNovdQk )
The dozen or so tubeless tires I have mounted on my tubeless compatible rims haven't been very hard to get on the rims. I am using Hutchinson Sectors.  Hutchinson has just come out with a whole new line of road tubeless 
( http://www.hutchinsontires.com/us/category/road ) as are many other manufactures.   Once the tire is on the rim and positioned as good as possible. I have been using a CO2 cartridge to inflated and seat the new tire. There are lots of new tire pumps made just for tubeless tire installations which I'm considering.  After the tire has been seated the first time. I have not had any trouble deflating and inflating with a floor pump.
I ride around 10,000 plus miles a year and have only removed my rear wheel 2 times this year out on rides . The reason being the puncture was too large for the sealant to heal . In that case you always carry a tube and install like you normally would. Can be a little bit messy dealing with the sealant in the tire.

I use the Orange seal as opposed to the  Stans product. Here is a parts list
