    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!

    Yep, standards are wonderful; we ought to have a lot of them!

    Extending the trend, we'll be back to tires/rims as on
    ordinaries when nearly every rider had his personal
    diameter. What could go wrong?

    I made a flippant comment, 'Why not even more tire sizes?'

    Definitely the wave of the future. a 29" wheel is only 736.6mm so a
    750mm will be 1.8% better.

    Time to upgrade.

    I went to Taipei Cycle once when in Taiwan for unrelated semiconductor
    work. That show is the best for very odd inventions that never make it
    to market. Went back again on my own dime a few years later.

    He does mention 32" rims at the end.

    One nice invention for shops is computerized wheel truing system <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtIVi1D5qvE&t=816s>.

    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!
