I'm loving all the recycled aahh hmm I mean **revisited** topics these past few weeks courtesy of Andrew.
When people complain about installing cushcore, I always wonder what they consider more work: installing cushcore or re-lacing a new alloy rim? Maybe that's just a concern for a talentless fatass like me who will guaranteed smash my alloy rear rim up in a season or two of bike park. Hasn't been a problem on my hard tail after swapping to Carbon (just send it in to those rocks, lifetime replacement baby!), but now that I'm not regularly wheel building anymore I'd rather install cushcore any day of the week.
Edit: I think it's been suggested here in the past, but some of my friends have said that taking something to "calm their nerves" while installing cushcore has helped.
