I read it, but it's possible I could have missed something. Could you elaborate rather than asking me to click through to your blog again? Seems kinda spammy.

The product increases rotational unsprung weight
The canister would not fit on my bike(s)
The lines coming out the axles appear highly vulnerable to common crash damage.
It uses CO2 which costs money and is not readily available to me
The product is not available in 20mm or 135mm axle sizes
I am not willing to trade straight spokes for j-bends
I am most certainly not willing to trade 120 hub engagement points for 24

And finally, it looks clunky as hell.
