I have the same problems with my rear tires and are contemplating to install the Cross Fire system (http://tinyurl.com/c2fe5k3).
Has anybody any experience with it and can report on it?
I've looked at those. I like the concept, but I'd be concerned that they'd throw the wheel out of balance and cause some vibration. Seems like it'd be pretty tough to balance the outer wheel/tire that has those things mounted on it. Especially, if they are not mounted directly in the center.
Also don't like the fact that in a way, you're kind of making two tires back into one when you add those things. I know the crossfire is not supposed to allow it to happen, but I have read where in some circumstances, if one tire loses a lot of air suddenly (like in a blowout), the crossfire will allow air to cross over, causing the other tire to go flat as well. Pretty much eliminates one of the big advantages of having duals, if a blowout with one can take the other one with it.
Still a cool idea, though.
