anyone riding a real life fixie...
...with spokes and axle nuts
NOT using any tires or tubes?
I'm not talking about some ghetto poor-ass kid ****. I'm talking about intentionally taking those heavy tires and tubes off of the rim.
I've been riding tireless for a long while now, and I'm wondering why anyone would add all of that excessive rational weight to their bike. Those tires just make the ride not enjoyable, what with the squishy feel and the need to keep your tires inflated every time you ride and all.
It's pretty amazing not having to worry about flat tires ever, and I can perform mad skids for miles sometimes. I've also noticed that while I've always had to retrue tired wheels often, this tireless setup requires no truing ever and I'm guessing that the wheels will need replacing less often because of this.
Also, I should mention that I pour lighter fluid on my rear rim before every ride so it catches on fire from the sparx of my mad skidz.

it's been such a long time since someone made a topic like this.

Yeah dude. Tires just get dirty and they're a hassle always having to inflate them.

There used to be a LEGEND around my neighboorhood in the late 80's early 90's.
He was a gay hispanic man named "Jorjito" who always hit on underage kids. He rode a road bike on bare rims EVERYWHERE.
