CushCore Tyre Insert Set

Havent had a flat in months! I also noticed my ride (even through Rocky gardens) feels a lot smoother! Is like upgrading your suspension. Be aware, it adds weight to your bike, and you will feel that difference for a few rides. Other than that, the pros outdo the cons. I recommend installing these if you plan to start getting a bit more serious with your riding, or you plan to go through very Rocky trails.

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!!

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!

Work great, install best with two people

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.

Watch install videos I stretched the casing of my tire. Creating a bubble or what looks like a bent wheel installing the tire over the cush core.

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.

Tires feel incredible. no rim shots in nasty rock gardens

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

Incredible! Helps protect and gives you a little more squish. I have them on both of my bikes, front and back.
