The Tweel has been in testing for a while. Once it becomes market-ready, it will have real sidewalls

Will it clear my BBK?



Interesting concept. What happens when the tread gets bare? You have to replace the whole rim?!?

^Isn't the theory behind it that you can still mount rims on it, but it doesn't require air to inflate? Therefore, flat tires will be a thing of the past... I dunno, I vaguely recall reading about the tweel, so I am probably out to lunch on this one...
