    I want to get some tyre inserts that are really lightweight for lakes general riding. Sick of damaging rims when punctures happen. What are people running?

    I’ve just fitted a set of these for that reason. Building my Evil following as a trail \ xc bike with a set of hunt XC wheels and light xc tyres. Still want to be able to hit rocky sections without damaging rims or puncturing.

    160grams per insert and they seem really good.

    Ordered them from the States, don’t think anyone is doing them this side of the pond. Not even on their own uk website.

    Use cushcores in the Enduro bike, Doubt these would be as effective but would be better than the like of huck norris’s (which I’ve used and found to be good so also worth considering.

    Cushcore XC are 155g. Really pleased with mine, easy to fit, decent rim protection and less squirmy running low pressures. I’m running them with 2.4/2.5 tyres
