No more bicycle flats, forever.

This being a kickstarter makes it a non-starter for me but it looks pretty promising: Hopefully they work great and become popular.

    A tube often lasts me ten years and I always have an extra tube in my frame bag, because it’s way easier than patching a flat.

        I’ve never had a flat. It’s just a matter of being prepared for the one or two times in my entire life I get one.

        Tires like this significantly shift the cost/benefit analysis of biking in the first place, they’re just not practical for the vast majority of users.
