Claudio Posted April 13, 2014 Share The revolutionary dual chamber system revealed by Schwalbe not too long ago was spotted in the Pietermaritzburg pits. There were a few riders on them for the DH and we could be seeing them more and more throughout the year. Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerus Posted April 13, 2014 Share Would love to know what the cross section looks like through those rims & tyres. johannrissik and Greg29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johannrissik Posted April 13, 2014 Share There's an eccentric inventor in Velddrif who was doing something similar a few years back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted April 13, 2014 Share Would love to know what the cross section looks like through those rims & tyres. there's precedent in the MX world. I wouldn't be surprised if the MTB version is a clone thereof, with slight changes to accomodate for the field of application.

Check out Neutech tublissI see that they use a tube inside, it's effectively running a tube inside the actual tubeless tyre. I would love to know what the high pressure tubes would be made from. Would this application be better suited for a particular type of riding, ie enduro or DH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any riding that involves reliability while hitting the gnar at speed. the aim of the system is to provide ridiculous amounts of grip while minimizing the typical problems associated with lower tyre pressure to achieve more grip. Pretty much discounts XC of all flavas because this will not be for the weight weenies. So yes, DH and Enduro automatically qualify as suitable applications. Will be interesting to hear A Neethlings experiences with the system Edited April 13, 2014 by Capricorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted April 13, 2014 Share i'm guessing if you want to screw your buddy over, you let some air out the one and swap the red and black valve caps around while he's not looking. he he Capricorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Deon) Posted April 14, 2014 Share Call me crazy but would it not make more sense to have the second valve on the opposite side of the rim? http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/images/WheelWeights.jpg Greg29 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted April 14, 2014 Share That's a resounding yes... gets quite wild the faster the wheel spins lol. rubbish. unless you are seriously hormonal, it can't be felt while riding. like practically impossible. I would love to stick a pea under a mile high mattress and then see how you sleep on it all. tsk tsk.. such a fine princess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
