1985? $800? for a kit that sells for $ 389 ? No kidding..... Only junk here is this dishonest post

I stopped reading after i saw the "crack pipe" Adapter needed to air the shock...FAIL

I tried Huck Norris last season, now I have Cushcore. Huck was good at preventing pinch flats and rim dents at a reasonable weight. It did nothing for sidewall tears (to be expected) and sucked up sealant. 3 months ago I swapped Huck for Cushcore....and now I would have a hard time not riding without CC. Yes, CC is heavy. Yes, initial installation is a bear. But the ride quality is unreal. I don't know if it's the claimed "damping" effect, but I have lowered by psi to 18/19. Traction, including drive, braking and cornering, are simply better. I can plow through rock gardens without thinking about damaging the rims or worrying about pinching. There is also a dramatic improvement in cornering precision. The sidewalls are indeed stiffer and I find myself holding lines much tighter than before. It's like I eliminated an understeering problem that I didn't know existed. And, after 3 months riding through sharp rocks, I've had zero sidewall tears. Having said that, I'm dreading the day I get tear on trail, since doing a trailside repair that a tire plug can't fix, is essentially out of the question with CC
