So how many tire levers did you guys sacrifice to the cushcore gods?
I've had the Tannus installed for a couple weeks now. They do what they're advertised to do and I definitely ride better with them.Waiting for a review of these: https://tannusamerica.com/pages/tannus-armour-tubeless .
Supposedly lighter, cheaper and easier to install.
If you had to put that much leverage on the tire levers I'd give it a good spin and make sure the tire casing didn't get over streched and develope a wobble .
You can def drop a few psi without rim strikes but i prefer to run the same . For my 155 pounds my go to psi is 21f 25r , I know thats higher than most but it suites my style of rock bashing . I've safely rode a couple miles out of wildcat with a flat rear tire without any rim damage .Insert users - are you running the same PSI, or lower than your before-Insert PSI?
What is your normal Trail PSI, and how low can you go without running on the rim (if the INsert even allows that)? I'm envisioning Observed-Trials-like PSI without rim contact.

Not one. I use the same Pedros lever you have there. Just had to remove mine to switch it to a different wheel and had no problems. You have to make sure the bead is in the center channel and use soapy water.
more actually.... im going faster now with even more recklessness. still felt some rim pings and even cracked a carbon wheel with 28psi front and 32psi rear and cush core. granted i only use inserts at bike parks. i weigh 180lbs.Insert users - are you running the same PSI, or lower than your before-Insert PSI?

I put mine on existing tires.Got a pair of tannus inserts because of this thread. Should I wait to install until I put new tires on? Or does it not matter if I put them in with my current tires?
The Tubolight Evo looks interesting. I may try this one if I can find a US distributor. Especially since they also offer gravel and road versions.
