CushCore Tyre Insert Set

Installation was much easier than I expected. It took 30 mins to install front and rear and did not require and exotic tools or effort. I think the key is not to use a brand new tire. My tires had been ridden a couple of times first so the beads had been loosened up. They went on very easily and I just used a cheap plastic tire lever for the last little bit.

Finally showed up, after a month, and the box marked Pro 29 had clearly beed opened and contained one 29 & one 27.5 insert. Great! What a pain in the saddle!!

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

Easy to install if you’re the least mechanically minded

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

Yes, they are relatively heavy (1lb per set); yes, they are a bit tough to install... However, completely worth the piece of mind and comfort!! Im running 5-7psi less than before, Im taking corners with zero slip/twist. 100% worth the investment and 100% more confident during the ride.

I have broken a few wheels and had a lot of pinch flats. I have tried other inserts and they all failed me. I did get a 2 inch pinch flat while using these on a downhill run, but it saved my wheel! I will take a little walk and replace a $80 tire all day long vs buying new wheels. Granted Enve warranties everything it just takes awhile a month plus without a wheel. When installing stretch them and put the tire on one side first then insert. When you put the other side of the tire on make sure to slip it under and in the rim well all the way! Its way easier when you do this. Use their valve stems or something similar.

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.

Installation was a shocking, unable to achieve myself. Went to 3 bike shops, 1 gave up, 1 refused, 1 took three bike techs 2hrs to fit (an hour each wheel). Couldnt maintain pressure in rear wheel due to damaged rim tape and couldnt get the tyre back off to fix. Went back to bike shop and took 2 bike techs 90 mins to remove to avoid damage to wheels and tyres. Cant imagine being stuck in the Alps with puncture that require tyre removal, long walk back. My setup is PC Carbon rims with Schwalbe Supergravity Magic Mary & Hans Damf. Cushcore went straight in the bin and chalked it up to an expensive learning experience. Would expect a premium product at this price point to be simple and quick to use.

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!
