How good are the latest air-free, flat-free tubes and tires?
I understand this technology is changing rapidly. Any recent users reports?

Pneumatic (sp) tires replaced air-free tires along time ago, for one reason...pneumatic tires are better. Going back to air-free tires is like turning back the clock 120 years. Austin |

"Jack Blake" wrote in message om... I understand this technology is changing rapidly. Any recent users reports? I have used "No-Mor-Flats" brand tires for a suburban commute for eight months and 1500 miles. I have had no problems of any kind with the rims, spokes, hubs or tires. My goal was to avoid roadside maintenence at 6am and 10 degrees Farenheidt (sp?). The important issue seems to be that the tire, tube and the rim must fit each other very closely. This takes some trial and tribulation to achieve. They are a stiffer, less comfortable ride. They are a little heavier. The trade-off is not freezing my digits on the winter commute to work and the trivial weight saved leaving the patch kit and pump at home. They work very well for me. Keith Cullen |
