Ya I'm sure SC has it figured out... I use Tannus but still needed a new rim by the end of the year. But have also realized that Tannus do have a lifespan. It's not cut-up like a cushcore gets or visually worn at all... but compared to a new insert, it's just much softer and pliable, which was definitely a part of the equation that led to needing a new rim this past fall. Seems like about 1300 kms or 200 hours (moving time)-ish?
Previous year with a new insert, I tried to get away with a lighter weight rim and again by the end of the year that didn't quite work out. Using Crank Brothers Synthesis Enduro Alloy this coming season (with a new Tannus insert). Will see how it holds up!
