I'm fairly new to cycling so please don't rip my head off when I ask ...... Why don't cyclists have solid rubber tyres? I have between 90 and 110 psi in my tyres and that makes them extremely hard to press in because they're almost solid. I've also had 3 punctures in the 6-months I've been cycling. I'm confident that a compound can be used that would give exactly the same performance, movement, stability etc that we get from an inflated tyre, so why do we use a more difficult method/system?
Anything to stop the hassle of swapping out clincher tubes.
