I have been using tires from www.airfreetires.com for about 10 years now and I really find that they work perfectly for what I want to do.

From what I read on the web there are a lot of people who complain about them but a lot of this negativity seems to come from people who actually haven't used them.* Their 'complaint' is that they have a friend who had a bad experience with them, or they read that Sheldon Brown didn't like them.

I have a lot of respect and admiration for Sheldon but NOBODY can know everything and I am firmly convinced that Sheldon did not understand Airless tires as well as I do.

As a 69 year old retired toolmaker, I have the good fortune to have the skills to build my own wheels and, due to 'working out' regularly, I only weigh about 165lbs.

The tires I use most are 700 x 20, Nu-Teck brand (sold by Airfreetires) and they weigh around 380 grams (well less than one pound)

Hope this helps you.
