Bicycle Armour

the bicycle puncture problem: bicycles are very susceptible to unsuitable road conditions as they primarily travel in the section of the road where debris collects near the edge. it is never fun when a puncture strikes. existing sealants are very problematic. some can only be used in tubeless tyre systems. most contain latex which causes the sealant to harden in the tyre over time, effectively ruining the tubes and rims. others need to be topped up after 6 months or are only used as a temporary fix. in 2014 we had an idea: what if we could create a puncture solution suitable for all types of bicycle tyres? the solution: like archimedes, our eureka moment happened in a bath tub too …. the domestic chores of clearing a blocked drain to be precise. so the premise was; if human hair (which has quite a small diameter) can tangle up and effectively block a drain (which has a relatively much larger diameter), then maybe we can apply this principle to our bicycle puncture problem. back
