Having been a sceptic on dropper posts ("I can just stop and put my seat down"), which I now wouldn't be without, I've learnt to be not be so cynical about new tech. So I can definitely see how inserts like cushcore and tannus tubeless would be of benefit. The issue I have is being 153cm (5ft) and 57kg I just think maybe the weight will be too much for someone my size/weight and deaden the ride too much.
Yes, using them with exo casing tyres would help that but I've slashed the sidewalls of exo tyres plenty to not really want them again by choice, and I can't see how inserts would help prevent a slash high on the sidewall like happened not that long ago to me. Exo + o'r DD and tannus then? Rear only? It would, in reality, be an experiment for me and I'm not sure if I want to drop the cash on an experiment.
