hi everyone!
I’ve been using an insert in my rear tyre for a few years now, huck norris first then a rimpact. Puncture protection solely. I have recently installed rimpact pro in the front tyre, gave it a test run on tuesday. 2.5 assegai maxxgrip DH. (will probably try a lighter tyre when this one wears out but i am usually DH tyres or go home, probably with a puncture)
Anyhows, i inflated till 22psi. The grip felt great, but it was and has been dry here for a while. What i did notice however was that it felt more ‘fatiguing’ and the fork felt spikier. Like the first intitial grip was great and supple, then i presume when the trail features reached the insert it was harsher, if that makes sense? Perhaps rebound from the insert itself?
Have you changed fork settings when using an insert? ta!
