I need to swap them out for some Tannus to do a reset. Having only ridden inserts recently my frame of reference is getting skewed. But... they have a firmer ride because of their large volume, they are incredibly light and not terribly difficult to install, despite their octagonal shape they support the sidewalls well (and perhaps somewhat indirectly unlike Tannus and Cushcore which press directly into the sidewall firmly) and they saved a wheel in what would have likely been a costly step-down case. I flatted but could ride out at close to top speed as long as I kept my weight forward cornering. Now I've already said too much!
