FWIW-
Eons ago, I saw patent drawings for a system wherein tires were fitted with two tubes, with two valves opposite each other. The tubes were carefully inflated so they shared the volume 50/50. In the event of a puncture, the surviving tube would expand to fill and support the tire (at half pressure) preserving the system's integrity. It's been a long while, so I've forgotten whether the intent was for Auto, MC, or bicycles, but the idea always intrigued me. |
