CushCore Tyre Insert Set

Came in good condition. Installed fine. Pretty expensive, but I don’t want flats or rim strikes and I’m bigger than your typical mountain biker so this is super helpful.

Decided to fit these after the tyre lost air on a tight turn pushing out the sealant and me on the deck at 20mph hopefully it won’t happen again.

Purchased to protect my carbon wheelset, word on the street was they are very hard to install. I had no problem using there special tool, lots of dish soap and softened the tires up in the sunlight. My issue is I tore a brand new $60 Maxxis rear tire sidewall on the first ride. So Im not to happy cause I thought these would offer some sidewall protection. Im going to leave the front one in, but probably wont install the rear one. On the fence right now with my purchase.

No funciona para todo tipo de rin como se menciona, en mi caso no se puede instalar en rines Raceface con Maxxis DHR y DHF ya que no ingresar la llanta e incluso truena como si se rompiera el rin, le doy 1 estrella (por mí serían 0 estrellas) porque el vendedor NRC Bikes - Los Arcos, decidió no proceder con el reembolso del importe pagado.

Im a 185lbs rider with a 160/140mm travel bike in Arizona, and Im fairly aggressive downhill. After cracking a carbon rim in the rear despite running a 29x2.5 Aggressor at 23psi, and bending an aluminum rim + pinch flatting the 27.5x2.8 Nobby Nic at 18psi, I decided to just pony up for Cushcore. Well, I wont be breaking any more rims. I accidentally dropped my plus tires to 7psi (was playing with pressures on new Rekons) and sent it down a hill, setting my second fastest time despite all the drag. No rim damage, no rear squirm, and no worries.

installation is pretty easy if you know what ur doing. had been riding with it for awhile feels better on corners

Installed them on my new bike , definitely worth protecting my wheels, better than having to straighten them all the time after jumping.

These have worked well to protect my 1200$ rims. great customer service as well. My installer couldnt get them balanced, the company was contacted and sent out a new pair no questions asked. The installation was not hard for the guy who did it, took about 10 minutes. used alot of soap

Sure, the install is tough - but the online videos did a great job of explaining how to do it right, minimizing the frustration. Its definitely easier with an extra set of hands (thanks wifey!). Once installed, the improvement to my ride was game changing. Really nice to be able to confidently ride with low PSI and get all that extra traction without fear of burping or losing a bead. I can see why folks really love these things - they make such a big difference!

As expected, not the easiest to install so watch the YouTube videos and it just takes a bit of effort. Put them on both mountain bike and love running lower pressure for grip and no worries about pinch flats. Not cheap but when youre $4k in a bike its worth the investment plus I saw at least 10 people with flats at the bike park last weekend
