first thought without opening the link:

what if you drive through dirt? will it all clog up and feel extra shit?

[–] Trilogy3452@lemmy.world -1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The sides are open, why would it clog up?

[–] BevsDad@lemmy.ca 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Because mud will do what mud does and clog any opening smaller than a few inches wide?

It'll get squeezed and/or flung out the next revolution of the wheel though

I can't even clear up regular spokes fully by going 40kmh down a road because of the clay type mud we get.

That’s relying on air alone, the mud on your spokes doesn’t receive much if any additional shear forces.

I meant while biking down a hill.. If riding squeezed out all the mud then that means the runflat tire is... Flat...
