Dual tube setup
I can’t quite figure out if this is just stupid or really cool. Looks like it might be a good idea if you have a city beater bike that you wouldn’t mind drilling holes into. I guess it might minimize the gear you would have to carry around for a single speed beater with a bolt on hub. Maybe it would be good if you were setting up a bike for someone with an aversion to changing tires.

ignorant is my take.
1. it means that the tube you used to pay the penalty for carrying once, now counts twice, as it is rotational inertia. (now you have to exert force to rotate the second tube with every pedal stroke.)
2. there is a real chance that the puncture will not only go through the inflated tube.
3.you have a decreased chance of pinch flatting the inflated tube, but exponentially greater chance of pinch flatting the uninflatted tube. Therefore when you need it most your reserve tube may already be flat
