Souplesse Casings and Bike Soup - The Tire Thread

I just hope we can get one step closer to finding out why it is that no one has made a tire comparable to them 650b reen slicks in SUPPLE

Vittoria corsa in big boi sizes would rock my world. They’re so good, but also so small.

I’m curious about what the scale of ā€œpretty significantā€. We talking bongs, tens of bongs, or hundreds of bongs?

sounds like you’ve got a business partner @igor

Seems like most of the cost is in the mold? Beads, casings, rubber layups are all existing materials. So we get a smooth mold blank, send it to @Eric_Estlund for engravery magic (because you know he’d be preternaturally great at it), and bingobango it’s gold toilets for all!

i like that

but aren’t round creatures typically runs?

If this was meant to be ā€˜rims’ then yes, however I’m not aware of any tarck-adjacent rim manufacturers who might be considering their branding any time soon so I figured we could re-purpose the term.

I mean, it would probably be easier to get a tarck branded rim than to get a tire that did all the things our nerd asses want.

I did that to a Babby Shoe once. Hit a rock so hard it broke the inside of the casing. Finished the ride though.

That’s impressive. I’ve never gotten tread to bulge.

Is this the real reason Jan likes 2+ cm of fender clearance?
