CushCore

Tubeless tyres are arguably one of the best innovations of recent times for not only the mountain bike world, but also for those favouring a road bike or gravel bike too. Allowing riders to run lower pressures to increase grip and the addition of a tyre sealant to all but eliminate punctures, tubeless tyres have really changed how riders set up their bikes. The one downside of tubeless tyres, however, is that if the tyre is subjected to too much force it can "burp" and lose air pressure. Cushcore have created a foam tyre insert that allows the tyre to retain all of the supple ride characteristics of a tubeless tyre, while adding support to the tyre wall to reduce the likelihood of any air loss. Another added bonus to this insert is that if the unthinkable happens and you tear a tyre mid-race run, the tyre is not completely flat and you can continue without damaging the wheel rim. For those riding a trail bike or enduro bike with the larger wheel size, the Cushcore 29 Pro set is the way to go, which contains the insert and a tubeless valve and can also be bought as a pair. To aid in the fitment of the tyre, the Cushcore bead dropper can help you install and remove the tyre and the Cushcore bead bro acts like a third hand when reinstalling the tyre onto the rim.
