Not the best article I have seen from this source and honestly..smells bad to be advertising for the Prima "brand" as stated in the article.

If the authors wnat to push a certain brand that's OK..but don't expect to be taken seriously on any further "reviews". It would be better if this article was a comparison of what is available.

No mention of SIP tubeless rims which have been around for some time, SIP high speed rated tires, Pinasco or FA Italia tubeless split rims etc.

Plugging a 10" scooter tire...maybe to get home but the proper thing to do is patch from the inside. Fix a flat in a pinch but have fun cleaning up and be careful not to blow it up.

Tubeless split rim you can throw a tube in there in an emergencey.

Also..talking about running high quality and showing a photo with white walls?

It appears that Scooter File is now part of the advertising arm of Scooterworks. That is a shame as there is a lack of unbiased reviews regarding aftermarket items.

Am I wrong in thinking that this wouldn't be as strong as the SIP rim? The SIP is one solid cast piece and this appears to be 2 pieces welded at points.
