you're going to kick yourself for not getting a complete kit for yourself. OR at least try it out on your front wheel:-)

This is the downside to low pressures; you flex the casing much more and wear it out faster. I haven't had any issues with this yet but I agree that the threads showing and the "X" marks on the casing are there more than before.

As for the carbon hoops, yes there can be an issue with the thin rim bed and procore. Try going down in pressure, to 55 or 60. I haven't had any downsides to this yet.

Ray from Derby Rims told me not to run more than 60psi in the inner tire, maybe for this reason.

Ok, sounds good; I will drop the pressure in the inner core and raise the outer. I think I will prefer the feel of a firmer outer anyway as it was a little vague and squirmy.

I totally agree with this. The front is where the magic happens. The back for me is all about rim protection, the front is all about traction/performance.

I just went on http://www.bike-discount.de/en/search?q=procore and it looks like you can buy the inner tube w/ valve, inner tire and air guide separately. Isn't this really all you need if you want to do a rear wheel conversion?

There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.

True. I ran in the low 20s for Cypress this winter but I'll be back to somewhere close to 30psi for the bike park. Will probably take a run or two to figure out the sweet spot for comfort, traction, and support.

Yup, anything Schwalbe will be much cheaper from bikediscount! Works out to $100CDN less to buy it from them (not including shipping).

Just took my reign for a ride after installing pro core, wow what a game changer! So much braking and cornering traction, rock and root dampening, and silencing of the bike. Running low pressure (around 18] with super gravity casings. I predict that a lot of people are going to start riding this. It's easy to install at home too.

I went from a 22.5mm inner width SRAM RAIL 50 rim with ProCore and a 2.3 Minion DHF 3c to a 30mm iw DT XM481 rim and a Schwalbe 2.35 Magic Mary Snakeskin with ProCore on the front wheel.

Incredible! The higher volume tire and the wider rim feel even better. Really, really good.

1.2bar and 4.3bar in the core now. NO squirm, burping and also no vague feeling.
