It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I inflated a tyre myself once. I swelled with pride. Added an inch to my ride. Super pumped.

I was today years old when I learned self inflating tires were a thing.

Well, they're self inflating wheels, not tires. So...

Well, shit.

The compressor is in the hub, but the tire is the only part which is inflated.

That's actually really cool, but I already want to many specialty hubs for one bike. I need it as a combo with igh in one and dynamo in the other.

I'd love to have the same with a belt drive.

Really cool

On one hand, cool innovation, on the other, no more organic pure mechanic bikes.

Don't they already have electronic shifters?
