Pinkbike Poll: Do You Use Tire Inserts?
@Serpentras: I'm absolutely with. this what the inserts are good for: protect your rim while ridin on low pressure for maximum grip.
you still need a good DH tire to prevent flats.
I got myself the flat tire defenders after investing enough money into great carbon rims. Rim width 32mm (inner) Reartire Maxxis WT, Front Magic Mary SG.
But: for all those thinking about getting insert for the first time: at least the flat tire defenders: mounting tires is easy. But unmounting at least for me only works with a tire mounting machine. Also refilling or changing milk only work through the valves. No way to lever the tire from the rim with a tire lever, since the insert presses the tire onto the rimwall permanently.
