Hi guys not sure if anyone else has seen this yet but these folks are making an interesting looking tyre insert right here in Cumbria. Its very similar to Cushcore in its profile and is not a throwaway product. Definitely worth checking out.

interesting.
so its like cushcore but without the benefit of dampening.
more like a huck norris type thng
I think it will have similar dampening qualities, they just haven't done the sciencey (sic) testing of that aspect with the machines that cushcore have.

Saw these at Core bike show. Another tyre insert
Looks very well designed by a proper specialist in the materials being used and fantastic to see it being made in the Lakes. If I can get over my stubborn XC racer mindset and add 230g to my rear wheel, I’ll be keen to support them. Having smashed a carbon rim and wrecked two or three tyres whilst riding from my place in the Lakes, I know I should, but old habits die hard and I love climbing at speed as much as descending at speed and even an extra 100g in the tyres and rims makes the bike feel sluggish to this old school racer. I might have to close my eyes, hit the buy button and give it a try regardless!
