Some people just have too much time. And too little connection to reality.

With a small modification to the system, that suit could inflate and deflate on the fly.

What we really need is a bike with wheels that can grow between 26" and 29" to win all arguments.

If they added that tyre pressure system to this bike, could it take the record for the most cables?!

A solution looking for problems IMO. What happens if/when you puncture, or if the system is de-pressurized in a crash or something? How do you go about removing the wheels to put the bike in the car. It'll never catch on. (waits to be proved wrong when all bikes have a similar system fitted as standard in a few years time)

Good to see that Priorty have seen sense and put a chain on the carbon DH bike instead of breaking the Gates belt thatthey had on it at NAHBS
