1. Solid tyres are much heavier than pneumatic
2. Even if pumped up really hard, the pneumatic tyre still has compliance, hence a bit of comfort. Solid tyres would need to be very soft to give similar ride
3. If solid and soft, would have high hysteresis, hence energy sapping
I'm sure there are many more points as well.[/QUOTE
Thank you, I knew there would be good reason, I just didn't know. I've got a bottle of anti-punture goo, is that any use ?
Anti puncture goo is good for a quick fix, but has a tendency to gather at the lowest point when you leave the bike, and can then cause a really bad out of balance problem.
