Re: Noooooooooooooo............... zippy tyres
Good spot Tim mate. Not for me I'm afraid because I'm always petrified of zips and getting things caught in them that should definitely not be caught in zips.
9/10 for inventiveness though

Re: Noooooooooooooo............... zippy tyres
Good invention, I've always wondered about something like this for Fat bikes, but the other way round i.e. you zip on the slick tread.....

Is it tubless compatible or not?
Either way punctures are going to be a pain to deal with
Like others i think its interesting and creative but i remain deeply sceptical of a concept that violates n+1
