You can carry more in a bike than on your back.
When I was a kid, my dad was tired of buying intertubes because I would constatly puncture them. So he brought home a 24" O-ring for some piece of equipment at his job. It fit perfectly on my BMX style bike rim. I never had to replace another tube.
That's a big o-ring.
My dad was frugal, if nothing else
Great on the road, not so much on a dirt trail.
I'll have to disagree on that. I lived out in the woods on a dirt road. Not a paved road or patch of concrete/asphalt for miles.
Don't remeber honestly, I was around 12 years old. I don't think I was too concerned with the weight at the time, as long as it worked. It worked.
I’m talking about traction on things other than hard pack. Like mud and snow. A slick tread tire will just spin.
the o-ring was inside the tire
