Yeah nasty experience and well done that you are ok. ALWAYS carry a good tyre pressure guage and check pressures (cold tyres of course) before every ride. It can save yer ass. General rule is that spoked wheels cannot run tubeless tyres cos of the spoke holes thro the rim but with some work you can, as the guys mention. But with or without tubes, keep on top of the tyre pressures.
