This being a kickstarter makes it a non-starter for me but it looks pretty promising: Hopefully they work great and become popular.

    I never even implied that lol, kinda rude to jump to that honestly.

    No, i can change my tubes, it’s just an arse and a half because you have to unscrew the wheel, fiddle with the chain if it’s the rear wheel, and then bending off the tyre is annoying as hell and so is putting it all back. Most people absolutely cannot do it in 10 minutes, that’s a fantasy.

      Get yourself quick release spindles and a single platic tire iron.

      Flip the bike or put it on a stand.

      Deflate the tire if it’s not completely flat.

      Inflate the tube just one pump so that the inside rubber unsticks, then put the valve through the valve hole.

      Before putting the tube around the rest of the rim, stuff it into the tire and place the tire and tube around the rim in one go.

      The first bead should be easy, and the second bead might require you to use the tire iron.

      Put the wheel back on and then reinflat the tire.

      It shouldn’t take that much time.
