Much like David Arthur (the reviewer) I?m unconvinced by it! Maybe small
market for the guys in the 6?5/7 range?
 
But otherwise seems a slightly more stable more sluggish but otherwise
rather just the same, which isn?t wildly compelling one to sell of my
Gravel bike for a newer bigger one!

I made a flippant comment, 'Why not even more tire sizes?'
 
Then this appeared in my email:

Why not...
 
Unlike some RBT members, I think new and different stuff is wonderful.
I've spent a great deal of my life experimenting with something new
and different. Satisfaction is not something I'll never have.

Oh sure it’s interesting ideas and all that, this said I’m unconvinced it
has much value but I’m open to being convinced otherwise!

There's no way that tire would work on a Catrike. I was just
commenting on experimenting on new stuff.
 
The only time I've ever been happy with the status quo involves my
wife.

Sure I enjoyed using TPU types etc they for my uses didn’t work or rather
no better than normal tubes, bar being slightly more supple feel and a lot
more expensive!
