i guess that's good, but sometimes it's good to check your tire and make sure there's nothing like glass.

it still seems useless. taking off a wheel isn't any trouble.

is it possible to get a flat by leaving your wheel inside a car after 2 days? does temperature play a role here? i left my wheel inside a friends car and when i got it back it was flat.

It can get insanely hot inside a car which will make the air expand.

maybe if they don't carry a wrench it might be worth it.

he was referring to wiping the inside of the tire. you can do so without taking off the wheel, and im not sure how to really explain that to you.... except to say... can you picture the tire not being on the rim, while the wheel is still bolted on the frame?
theres your answer.
these are cool... but probably more convenient for bolt on wheels. either way... good idea no matter what. if the tubes are just as good as normal tubes, then i image these will replace the standard in time.
i wonder if the style would work for high pressure/larger tubes?
cool post

bmx bikes have two different axle sizes. plus if youre running pegs, then you have to have a socket wrench long enough to take the nut off. since these tires are for bmx bikes only, its a great time saving thing. they will never be made for road bikes.
