Yoann Barelli Announces 'La Baguette,' A Revolutionary Tire Insert

Nov 12, 2018
by Yoann Barelli  


PRESS RELEASE: Yoann Barelli's LA BAGUETTE


After years and years of research, testing and deep studies we are very proud to introduce 'LA BAGUETTE.' For those who don't know about tire inserts, they basically allow you to ride with lower tire pressures when riding tubeless and gives you added rim protection. "LA BAGUETTE" costs in between 50¢ and $4 USD, depending on region. In a world where the taking care of the environment is becoming more and more in-vogue, LA BAGUETTE can often be bought locally and even 'zero-km' as well as being recyclable directly into compost via the pilot themselves.

bigquotesWe have seen a bunch of brands popping up in the last few years that are rebranding basic pool noodles, but my creation goes beyond all of them. It's a revolution!Yoann Barelli, CEO of LA BAGUETTE Tire Inserts

You can see here the attention into details on a well finished and innovative product.


INSTALLATION AND THEORY

The installation couldn't be any easier. Simply open up your tire, put in LA BAGUETTE, inflate, et voilà, you are good to go.

photo

When it comes to different tire sizes, it's as simple as putting LA BAGUETTE in the tire. When you go to the bakery to buy your Baguette, there are all sorts of different sizes and shapes, choose the ones that fit in your tires and there you go.


INTELLIGENT MEMORY DOUGH

LA BAGUETTE is equipped with an I.M.D [Intelligent Memory Dough], it basically allows you to smash it multiple times keeping LA BAGUETTE with the same shape in the tires. Yoann estimates that you can keep the same baguette in your tire for 96 hours, after that it will get a bit crunchy and you won't experience the best properties of your baguette anymore.

With or without LA BAGUETTE, Yoann sends it pretty hard.

Riding LA BAGUETTE is the best part of this ingenious idea, it totally changes the way you ride and your riding experience. No more stress, your passion is now a pure pleasure.

After the enduro banana we have now the enduro cheese.

When we went for our first ride with Yoann and LA BAGUETTE, we stopped at the grocery store and Yoann came back with some goat and blue cheese. After 1 hour of riding pretty hard, Yoann had a flat tire. We stopped and he pulled out the blue cheese. Took LA BAGUETTE out of the tire replaced it by a tube, sliced some pieces of LA BAGUETTE and offered us some delicious blue cheese on baguette while he was pumping up his tire.

That day we rode for 7 hours, had 4 flats, ate 3 baguettes and 2 cheese. You understand it now, LA BAGUETTE is a multi-purpose invention and the slogan says it all:

BUSINESS MODEL

After months of negotiating with all the bakers in the world, Yoann's comapny will get 10% of all the sales, worldwide. "I'm bringing new clients to every bakery, all the gluten-free mountain bikers will now experience the pleasure of LA BAGUETTE and I'm not hiding that I will be very rich, extra rich, RICH!"


SPONSORSHIP

Good marketing is key for a successful business, and sponsorship takes a huge part of it. That's why we're proud to announce that we're accepting applications to be sponsored by LA BAGUETTE. Accepted ambassadors and pro EWS racers will be provided all the LA BAGUETTE they need to rip up the trails (cheese included). Remy Metailler and Loic Bruni will also be part of the team as they are true baguette lovers. Loic was already running LA BAGUETTE at the last world championships and we are positive LA BAGUETTE took a huge part in this victory. Remy will be running LA BAGUETTE at the Urban DH in Taxco next December.

You can also share your experience by using the hashtag #barellisbaguette on social media and every month we'll pick up new ambassadors. Join this revolution right now by going to your nearest bakery!


JOIN THE REVOLUTION

LA BAGUETTE is for everyone who rides mountain bike and will truly change your riding experience. No more stress when having a flat, enjoy a slice of cheese on LA BAGUETTE. And even if you are lucky enough and are the one who doesn't flat, there is no need to carry loads of food with you anymore, open up your tire and eat... till you get fat!

 Come on Yoann use your loaf, even my Naan could tell you to stick to a system which will roll better,with this you'll just taco your wheels and end up toast. Also installation will be a PITA. Don't bother replying, I have no time for French plaititudes

 Sorry guys, but here in Mexico we use a more avanced, modular system called "el bolillo", a.k.a "el birote". Although similar to La Baguette, this system is comprised of smaller parts, allowing for infinite configurations according to your riding style. Too late, Joan.

 This is honestly nothing new. I’ve been skewering a stale dinner role on to my Fox DHX2 for some time now. A much more supple ride feel compared to a coil, especially when you lube it up with some butter.

 Great work! I've been experimenting with this concept too. Actually trying to bake the dough inside a mounted tire. But several destroyed ovens later I came to the realization that a wheel with mounted tire is too large for the typical oven. There is no easy way around this as the people from the oven store won't let my try before I buy. Baking the bread before you stuff it in the tire is pretty genius actually! I'm currently actually experimenting with putting corn in my tires as an insert. If I feel pressure is getting a bit low, I can just set the tire on fire and - pop pop - the insert transforms in a beautifully smooth and soft insert. In theory that is. In practice I'm having some issues with smoke development. Also the tires I'm currently using are not compatible. I'm closely working with some progressive tire manufacturers to develop a corn-compatible compound (CCC in marketing terms). Still need to find the right people though. They do allow me to use their doorbell, which is nice. Feel free to hold your breath (at your own risk) and watch this space (until you pass out).

 I don't know what he was thinking here it could not work because the sealant in the tire would saturate bread and the bread would become soggy and loose its memory dough. This would make flats still happen because the soggy bread would not be able to take large impacts. Good idea, bad implementation.
