Jan 6 2013: yeah, that would be a big trouble, taking away the "pro" of being usable over and over again. Still, completely depleting the tires seems excessive, I would rather go for a partial depletion which just gives more flatness without getting to a tubeless tire situation. Thanks for the reply!
Jan 6 2013: Yeah, I see that it would take quite some effort (in terms of money) to make, so probably it would be relevant just in very specialized situations, which maybe don't exist yet (?)
Also your idea is quite fun, do you know if this kind of gel is already available/used somewhere?? It sounds something that would help to create some kind of mechanic arm, where the grip is implemented through your gel.. I saw somewhere a video of a kind of arm like that but if I remember correctly that time it was implemented through a void/pump system.
Thanks for the feedback ad keep the cool ideas up!
