The problem is that it lasts the lifetime of the bike
@Fingolfinz @anindefinitearticle and only replaces the tubes, it still needs to be retread at some interval. So 'lasts the life of the bike' is a bit misleading....?
(Just going by the linked article)
Thank you for the clarification, I’m definitely not qualified to make any claims on it
Oh! My bad. It replaces the innertube for the live of the bicycle. I misread the claim. Thanks for clarifying.
How is that a problem? Doesn't that significantly reduce waste?
I guess it went over your head. I’m saying that a company won’t make it because capitalism rules everything so since this is something that would be helpful for the consumer, it’s bad for capitalism.
Reduces waste and profit, that is a no-no.
Think of the poor shareholders!
