Airfree tyres

In news:[email hidden],
an idiot spammer tweaked the Babbage-Engine to tell us:

Quoted message said:

Non-pneumatic tyres do exist for bicycles and work just fine. Need a
mounting tool and muscle to install, but don't need to travel with a
patching kit anymore.

But a puncture repair kit weighs less than a dentist, which you'll need to
have handy for replacing your lost fillings.

I smell pink porky product.

There ought to be a /La/ against it.

One source is airfree.com. Find your own source and have a look.

Might be worth carrying out some research before following the airless
route. Feedback from the ice-bikers was that they were all right on a
dry pavement but prone to spilling the rider pretty quickly in the
wet. I could probably find the relevant posts again if needed.

I bought ten and put nine in the bin - nuff sed.

They're rubbish - increased weight, reduced efficiency, reduced comfort
and reduced grip are too high a price to pay for avoiding the occasional
puncture, and puncture-resistant pneumatic tyres are pretty effective
these days anyway.

I know spammers are stupid, but spamming then getting the URL wrong is
pretty special.

Maybe it really is someone who thinks plastic foam makes good tyres -
would account for the stupidity. :-)
