I wonder how many LBS's regularly stock a tube for that front tire?? Let alone how many CO[size=-4]2[/size] shots it would take to fill that sucker up :lol:

It's tubeless, duh.

So how does it hold a vacuum if there's no center? I would've thought there'd be about 1.225 kg/m3 in there. :dunce:

prolly stiff enough to just use without air, with that little weight on it

he certainly has the mass but I doubt he has the speed to do that.
