"Slows you down somewhat"
Reid asks: why is that? Why don't the sellers say that?
Building in lossy drag is not as much an issue for some of us.
See Sheldon Brown's article again: 'OK for smooth surfaces,
heavy, slow'. And he has points.
Where are all of the other airless tire makers?
Why don't the mainstream makers offer airless tires

ONLY SOLD WHEN A NU-TECK TIRE IS PURCHASED AT THE SAME TIME Installation of a Nu-Tech tire requires the use of a Nu-Tech installation tool! How To Use Install Tool REMOVE THE RIM RUBBER STRIP BEFORE INSTALLING THE TIRES Place the tire on the rim and secure with toe strap or tie cord. Make sure the tire is seated into the rim. Now work the tire into the rim approximately half way around the rim and secure with additional strap or cord. Fit the remainder of the tire onto the rim by gently stretching the tire, using the tire tool. The tire will stretch. Take small (1 to 2 inch) sections and work around the rim, fitting the tire into the rim groove. As the final section is fitted, the tire will snap into place. With your hands, work the tire all around to ensure it is seated uniformly. the tire is made to fit snugly and is smaller than the rim. Use gentle persuasion during the installation.
Before you place an order for these tires, please measure your rims by following the instructions found below to determine if this tire is the appropriate fit for your rims.
