This being a kickstarter makes it a non-starter for me but it looks pretty promising: Hopefully they work great and become popular.

    12 minutes? what spell are you casting to automatically change the tube?

    Or do you have bike shops that aren’t filled to the brim with work, somehow?

        I’ve been riding bikes for years, and I’ve only had to change a tube maybe 3 times. I only ride on paved surfaces though, so it’s nothing like trail riding or what have you… anyway, I’m very unpractised on tube changing; particularly when trying to get the tire off of the rim. It takes maybe 30 minutes to change a tube with a lot of pinched fingers and swearing.
