Except for the part where pool noodle foam doesn't get you the adjustability of changing the air pressure in the tire to adjust how it grips the DISCs.

Also, maybe I'm just not envisioning it correctly, but I dont see how you prevent the tire from pancaking at speed too. I spun up an AM pneumatic 1:1 on a CIM, with no air in the tire, and the tire visibly pancakes a substantial amount.
