gosh my 1903 solid rubber tires seem super hightech by that standard!

I have also found that a bare rim on pavement has quite low rolling resistance, though traction may suffer. Best of all - no more wasting money on tires and tubes. The only expense is replacing the rim when you wear down to the spoke nipples, but you'll easily get several thousand miles out of 'em before this happens.

Hope this settles things. Cheers!
