Airless tire impressions
Somebody mentioned that a company was sending free 1-inch long samples of
their airless tires. I got mine in the mail last week. Here are some impressions: Okay there's one: "ow." These things couldn't possibly have any shock absorption at all. You would never pinch flat on these things because they're very nearly solid. If one were on the track, this might be an advantage, but few of us are. The two different types they have, safety yellow and black compounds, are both equally hard. If you were to ride these, I would bet that they would increase spoke, bar, stem, and possibly frame failures. They also would probably wear very well. -- Phil, Squid-in-Training |

A customer asked us to acquire one for her trainer. Good choice, wears well. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

I don't do impressions. My training is in psychology. |
