If governments and their climate-doomsday political backers have any say, then yes!

The new tire will be made of decomposable organic matter to eliminate any lasting negative effect on the environment. To engineer this material, the government will transfer tax-payer monies to the appropriate companies (the one's that make the most political donations) to perform the necessary research to develop this world-saving product.

The tires will be manufactured in a government-subsidized (see taxpayer again), "sustainable" factory powered by environmentally-friendly pixie-dust and unicorn-farts. Since it will take years of government-funded research to perfect the pixie-dust and unicorn-fart power system and since the tire needs to be implemented asap to save the planet, a "temporary" factory will be built in a non-disclosed, third-world county which "may or may not" use a petroleum-based power plant to power this new "sustainable" factory.

To ensure the safety of the planet, each tire will completely decompose within 2 months or 200 miles, whichever comes first. This is to ensure a necessary replacement-cycle that will generate enough revenue to allow those that mandated this sustainable tire and those that will build it's sustainable product network, to live in a lifestyle which they so richly deserve.

There will be an environmental tax on each tire to "offset" the impact that the tire makes on the microscopic organisms that will be crushed during it's usage. Said tax will fund new government programs that will employ thousands of people to study the potential extinction of these micro-organisms.

There will be an "educational" tax on each tire to provide funds for politicians and tire-producing corporations to fly their private jets to environmental conventions to educate the world's leaders on how this tire is saving the planet due to its sustainability.

So yes, you may tell your friend that the new tire will in fact, be sustainable.

You're forgetting that the subsidies and tax breaks actually go to the fossil fuel companies...

Well your majesty, how come you have so many letters in all of your old English words yet you only pronounce half of them?

Like when you're from a place like Gloucester (“Gloster”)?!

Can we agree on a new international standard of "Tiyre" ?

Only if it's pronounced "Tyree".

We invented the language, speak it properly son.

Why does it seem English speaking British bands lose their accent and sing in American English? Just take a listen… Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Animals, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Rod Stewart, etc.., etc… Must be because everyone understands American English?

Gloucester

And Worcestershire - it's pronounced Wuster sheer not worse-sester-shyre. Pull you socks up lad.

Can we agree

American English? That’ll be “Simplified English”

All enduro/DH ebikes should have a removable battery. Those bikes are mostly suited to lapping bike park/enduro/DH trails, using max power on the fire road climbs, so the battery will need swapping every 1-2 hours. Current "fast" chargers are not a substitute as they still take 1.5-2.5 hours to fully recharge.

100% agree !
Pointless having a long travel Avinox system bike, with mega power you can't use for the session uplifts, for fear of waiting around for 2+ hours to get riding again.

Might as well get an analogue DH bike and use the uplift for 5+ years with the money you saved.

You shouldn't wear a fox dropframe helmet if you're over 45 years of age.

For sure - I went straight for a Fox Pro Frame

Titanum and Scandum and Rubidum and Vanadum and Chromum and Magnesum etc etc as well presumably?

Americium is the real clincher for me... even the element named by Americans after America is spelt the correct way..

We in the colonies pronounce all words correctly.

Perhaps it's because we have these things called "dentists".

True, but then we don't need emtb's for the climbs.

Not true, a Yorkshireman calling someone out for their accent is hilarious.

Unpopular thought of the day: I'd like a CO2 cartridge powered cooling system for my battery and/or motor. Hit a button and the motor system gets a shot of CO2 to cool them down like they do in nightclubs.
