I cant see this working for the majority of MTB wheels.... Its great for an MX bike because their tires are so much thicker. But the average MTB tire is way to thin, you will still need sealant or you will be getting lots of flats. Also running your tires to low will just screw your rims up in no time at all. My current tubeless setup is fine. I can only see this working DH bikes where the tires are stronger and thicker. Happy to be proven wrong

Agreed, low psi tires often feel squirmy. I can't see dipping clear down to 14psi like they mention as the extreme, but something in the 18psi range could be interesting to try IF the inner chamber helps provide some support. Truly useful or just complicating things? We'll see...

14 PSI.........I won't need brakes, just roll to a stop in about 4 feet.

I like the idea, but eliminating rim damage is a tall claim. And personally, I don't like the feel of a low pressure tire squirming around underneath me in a turn. One looses the feel of the trail when the tire is all over the place. I remember at a Park City Norba race back in the 3.0 days overhearing an exasperated racer in the pits saying, "I increased my tire pressure from eight to twelve pounds and I still got a flat?"

Why??? What is wrong with current tubeless systems? I've been tubeless for years now without any issues. This system just adds weight and makes it more complicated.
