Thanks Cam - a very interesting article. I'm very insert curious... particularly TT which seems to tick the box for performance and weigh.
I flat very infrequently (touches wood) however am very interested in using inserts (TT) to run a lighter narrower tyre (2.3 DHR2 exo MT) and achieve similar grip and better support than a 2.5 DHF exo MG at a similar or lesser weight.
This would primarily be for summer riding however is likely to extend to wider tyres for winter. I'm currently on a Verdict / Judge combo which are awesome in the slop we have in SE UK at the moment. I love the damped feeling of the V / J but the rotational weight is a killer. Hence something that provides similar grip, feel and lower rotational mass would be great.
