I think Jobst wrote something about this at some point. As I recall he
filled a tire with water from a stream in order to get home when his last
tire developed a slow leak. The water leaked out much more slowly than
the air, or so goes the story as I recall it.

No memory of what the ride quality was supposed to be like.
