I was right about that saddle

Interesting. It is a bit unclear on where the graphene is applied, seems like a replacement for carbon black, which is added to better tyres (and allc ar tyres) in the form of pure carbon powder. I don't understand how this make the tyres puncture resistant. That would have made sense if it was a graphene sheet inserted below tread. More interesting is the graphene in the carbon fibre of the rims themselves. Graphene conducts heat, unlike carbon fibre composites. Heat dissipation is essential for proper braking on carbon rim brakes.
