Pretty sure this was on US Dragons Den and it got laughed out due to the cost. I'm like, yeah cost is pretty high initially but when the hell we gonna move on from rubber?
People these days pay more for bike tires than car tires these days already. There are $10k bikes now. Seems there's no amount of money some people won't pay for bike parts these days.
