Please note that I never said 'game-changer.' Nevereverever!
If you read my article, and perhaps you did not, you would know that the
initial motivation for developing the system was to improve suspension
response by providing a more progressive compression of the tire in response
to impact, thus initiating the suspension more efficiently without having to
crank the pressure beyond that which gives you good traction as well as
efficient roll over and trail feel. It also may be that a lower pressure outer
tire is less susceptible to tears and cuts because it will deform more - but
that remains to be seen.
In terms of bead lock, have you ridden a hookless bead rim like the new Enve,
Ibis or Specialized products? The bead lock is ridiculous. Particularly the
Enves.
