Yeeeaaahhhh,,,, no tube pressing the bead against the rim,,Seems like a hard slide would rip the tire off,,
Maybe it works great,, I dunno,, but I wouldnt be th trailblazer,, Id hafta see it work in all kindsa environments,,
However,, On the road and got a flat,, Buy out the sporting goods store and limp it home,,

He has an interesting idea, the tennis balls fitted his Kenda, but not his Hoosier. It would be interesting to see someone come up with a stronger ball in a variety of sizes.
