Gravaa's New Wheels Will Allow Tire Pressure Adjustments While Riding
I’m concerned that this system can’t respond fast enough due to low airflow volume. Of greater interest than the self-pumping is the ability to modulate tire pressure as you ride. Perhaps if it was tied to GPS, a barometer, and a bunch of accelerometers?
Example situation:
—> arrive at a rock slab, tire pressure decreases.
—> just before the transition, pressure increases to help prevent bottoming out the rim.
—> chunky section? Slightly drop pressure
—> going off a jump? Tire pressure increases for the landing and immediately drops after that.

Airplanes and cars are held together with glue as well. I’m sure it’ll hold just fine if Gee is willing to put his name on it.

@Glory831Guy: If we move to rolling element bearings on regular forks instead of just bushings, we will get some of that smoothness gain.

@dthomp325: Narrow bars in XC also help you wiggle through a group of other riders. You get more tree clearance and you save a few grams too.

There’s nothing wrong with it. Which one is worse: a 30 pound bike hanging off the seatpost, or your 150+ pound butt sitting on it?
