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.

    I made the experience that tires can vary a lot in how easy/hard they are to get off and on your rim. I thought I was just dumb until I swapped tubes on another bike and it just… worked as it was supposed to

      That makes a lot of sense. The tires I have were the cheapest ones I could find.

        If I’m being honest I’ve actually had the same experience as you. I can do it and never thought to go to bike shop for it but it just sucks. And I also didn’t realize it was probably my cheap tires lol
