The only drawback to pneumatic tires on roller skis or Skykes is that you may get a flat, just like on a bicycle. The unique situation we have with the roller ski tires is with their small size and holding them securely while trying to get them off and on. Those sleepless nights at Jenex has paid off. I am confident to say that it does make tire changing easy. The above link is connected to a short movie that demonstrates how it works

Jenex V2 Aero 150SC Combi Rollerskis
skis for both paved and non-paved surfaces
The XL150SC uses a longer shaft and has a ratchet wheel in front so the XL150SC can be used for skating as well as used for classic skiing. For classic skiing we recommend that you mount an Aero Outrigger. Because of the larger wheels, the XL150SC can negotiate rougher terrain and are also good for heavier skiers.
Wheel forks have been redesigned to make them stiffer and stronger without increasing the weight. The rear fork has also been modified to accept the new XL brake.
With V2 you get a lot more than two wheels and a shaft. You get control. V2 is the only brand to offer patented Speed Reducers and Brakes.
Vary your speed with the optional ATR Speed Reducers to gain control on descents. The new Speed Reducer lever is designed so pressure is applied to both serrated roller arms for improved pressure distribution. For the Aero 150 the system has one neutral position and 4 resistance settings. The ATR functions equally well in both dry and wet conditions.
The ATR Speed Reducer assembly is made from aluminum, stainless steel and nylon. The Speed Reducer lever is easy to grab and pivots on solid stainless steel pins. Nylon rollers and washers are used to reduce noise generated by vibration from skiing on rough surfaces.
The Aero roller skis have revolutionized roller skiing by being able to navigate terrain impossible with conventional skis. The Aero are the smoothest roller skis on this planet. Rough roads or packed dirt are no longer an obstacle to roller skiing because of the pnematic tires. Maximum tire pressure is 90 PSI on these 150 x 31mm tires. These tough 6.5 ply rubber tires welcome skating or classic techniques.
During classic skiing the Outriggers improve the stability of the Aero Combi 150SC. The Aero wheel provides a smooth ride while the
Outrigger provides stability. Only very skilled skiers can classic on the Aero 150SC without Outriggers. Generally only one Outrigger is
required, mounted on the rear wheel outside of the ski. For greater stability mount two Outriggers centered on the rear wheel of each ski.
As your skill level increases, the Outriggers can be rotated away from the ground so they provide stability only when the ski is substantially
tipped. When your skill level has increased sufficiently the Outriggers can be removed.
Add brakes for safety and flexibility. The rear fork has been modified to accept the new XL brake. When adjusted properly, the brake does not touch the leg until you adapt the braking position. This Telemark braking position is also the most stable position for braking as the forward leg acts like a brace and keeps you from falling forward as you decelerate.
We recommend that you carry a spare complete wheel assembly while skiing, just incase you get a flat. Then you only have to change the wheel while you are out and reserve changing the tube at your convenience in the comfort of your home.
To make it easier to remove the tire
we recommend you use a Kool Stop Tire Bead Jack (see below). We also recommend you fill the tubes with Specialized Airlock Tire Sealant(see below).

Jenex V2 940C Combi Rollerskis
This ski is great for both classic and skate techniques. It has durable urethane rear wheels plus medium width (33mm) rubber front for skating performance and quicker tempo. The front wheel ratchet offers perfect classic grip. Speed reducers optional.This combi ski is very popular, especially with High School and College skiers. The front ratchet wheel is narrower than
the wheel on the 900 classic series and has a more crowned profile for better skating. The rear wheel profile is the same as on the 930, however the rubber material is substantially faster than on the 930.
