You’re probably familiar with CushCore by now, so have a look at all the details over at Jenson USA here: https://bit.ly/CushCore2022jkw (affiliate link)
I’ve heard about CushCore for quite a while now, but my big, burly two ply WTB tires haven’t really left me wanting to try out any inserts. The hefty tires provide lots of support and do a great job of resisting flats on their own. CushCore was nice enough to hook me up with a few sets of their product, and I threw some into the Ibis 942 wheels on my Ripmo 29er.
I did notice the weight like I just mentioned, I ride very burly tires at 1250 grams a piece. Adding the 250 gram CushCore and my rotational weight is now over 1500 grams. That’s more than some complete wheelsets! However, once I got used to that extra weight, I did find many situations where CushCore offered a very real benefit.
I am not going to put CushCore on all my bikes, but I will definitely run it on my long travel bikes, and I’m also going to expirement with it on my dirt jumper and trials bikes.
Big thanks to these guys for making this all possible! Any purchases from these links will directly help support this series as well:
