I honestly don’t get the love for inserts… yet. I’ve now tried Tannus, Cushcore, FTD II and Rimpact all on a hardtail running either 27x2.6 and 2.8 and 29 x 2.6. In all cases they just made the bike feel more sluggish, heavier, less playful and the worst insult? Harsher… I’m baffled these are still a thing. Still I hope one day someone will come out with a version of these that is actually fun to ride. Maybe it’s these?…
