I saw that earlier today.

Im not totally sure about it but I think I quite like it. The idea of something that performs better (you dont get pinch flats, and small punctures seal up) but is ALSO lighter has got to be good.  ???

But I also like the amount of "tech" going on.  8)

Yeah I liked that  :daumenhoch:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Great idea, but how the hell did he think THAT one up??!!

I agree with Alex - lighter AND performs better - got to be a winner!

Wonder how many times he had to try it to get it right though....?!

i'd give it a whirl,

anything to rid the constant pinch flats has ot to be worth a pop!

26" method from a few years ago  ::)

i tried it last year but didnt have access to an airline and the track pump doesnt flow enough air quickly enough to create a seal so i ended up in a shop covered in sealer and cut tubes  ;D

the co2 canister pumps will have enough pressure to do it if your worried

he doesnt say but it needs to be a quality tyre as the method relies on the bead  ;)

how long until the next "new" thing to hit bmx is "tubs"  ;D
