After several flats and a cracked rim, I decided to give tire inserts a try. After hours of research Rimpact seemed to check off all the boxes: relatively light, easy to install, available in plus size and reasonably priced. With them installed I run front 30mm wide rim, 29x2.5 at 20psi and rear 35mm wide rim, 27.5x2.8 at 22psi. No squirm noticed when cornering hard, hitting rocks at speed feels muted. For kicks, I let all the air out of the rear tire and I was able to keep riding, although at a lot slower speed. I personally think this was a worthy upgrade. Only time will tell how these will hold up.
Anyone else running inserts?
