Are many of you running tyre inserts? Cush core or something else? What has your experience been like? What the pressure are you running and what did you run before? Anyone used them and then gone back? Dh bike or trail bike, I'm keen to hear your thoughts
I've been using Cushcore XC inserts in my trail bike for a few months now, I did it because I raced downhill on that bike and rode it in the bike park. Run front and rear with Maxxis Exo+ tyres, still not solid enough on the rear to be honest, the side walls are showing quite a bit of wear and have been weeping sealant. Pressures went from 27 - 29 to 23—25 and while I did like the feel of them they do add a noticeable amount of drag, now that bike doesn't need to be as burly I'm thinking I might stick with one in the back and run an Exo+ on the front. Not sure if that will unbalance things, be interesting to see.
Now I have a downhill bike and have fitted normal cush core front and rear, might try the xc one in the front when I take it out of the trail bike.
