Is this a good investment or not?

I heard if you hit a side walk or something small you bounce in the air and I was wondering if thats true?


I just got a new bike thursday august 25, at 8:00 A.M. hmmm why do I remember that date so well?

Maybe cause I was meeting a friend, or could it be that I got hit by a truck and he spent $200.00 on a new bike for me!!!

And then a month later I spent $100.00 to get that new bike fixed and the bike that I was on when I got hit by the truck is probably at a junk yard by now!!!

it looks like a ballon that goes aroudn your wheels lol.

its just a solid piece of rubber rather than in innertube. You put it inside the tire of your bike. SInce it doesnt hold air it can go flat

Liquid filled tubes work almost as well, and I can see them being alot better / safer than solid tubes.

With liquid filled tubes, I always ride over glass, thorns and even needles sometimes.

No, their filled partily with a speciality gel and the rest is filled with air.

ye the gel will seal up a hole to a certain size (1/8 of an inch) tho, so dont go riding over HUGE stuff purposly.

I don't like the idea of solid rubber tubes. The liquid filled is kind of interesting though. I may need to look into them.

The purpose of the bike and the tires will determine whether it's a good investment or not. Not all bikes are created for the same purpose.

For example, if you had a touring bike and weight is a factor, who would want a solid inner tube that wiil be more weighty (the shipping weight of that one is 3.25.......kinda' heavy). And if you have a mountain bike with variable pressure tires for the various terrains, then you can't do that with solid tubes.
