TEAMROBOT Added a comment about feature MTB Tire Insert Comparison Test - CushCore Pro vs Nukeproof ARD vs MegaNorris
8/21/2020 9:09am
Funny that you never tried Cushcore, because I think you just wrote a salespitch for them. Rim protection, sidewall support, and not shrinking or losing function over time are the main selling points of Cushcore over other tire inserts. I used to run DH tires without inserts on my trail bike, but was still folding tires and denting rims. I tried Huck Norris and it worked for a while but I experienced all the same drawbacks you described. Now I’m running DH tires and Cushcore in the rear and I’m happy as a clam. It weighs a little more, but...

Go start your company and make a bunch of money if it’s so easy. Sounds like you will take the market by storm. Overhead will be low since you can work out of your garage and with costs at only $1 and a price of $20-30 and 5 mins to make you should be clearing $2000 a day easy once these start to move.

Oh god... 'We can't fit the shock to the frame... Let's make a completely custom shock that no one ever will stock parts to service and won't know how to service it!' Logic.

Interesting, the aluminium has a thru-shaft shock, because the reservoir didn't fit, but the carbon has the downtube shaped in such a way to fit the reservoir and they are using the standard Super Deluxe.

yeah it should. I've run 5 Schwalbe SuperGravity (older version casing) tires down to nothing. Zero flats. Same bikes/wheels I've flatted 4-5 Maxxis Double Downs with and without cushcore. I'm done with Maxxis DD.

TEAMROBOT Added a reply to Would a Mullet bike set up make hitting jumps easier??
8/19/2020 1:29pm Full suspension mountain bikes kinda suck on steep jumps, regardless of wheel size. If you're hitting jumps that are steep enough for BB drop to be a significant factor, I think you're going to be more bummed on your 2.5" super tacky tires at 25 psi and your suspension that's set up soft enough to absorb roots and trail chatter...

dsmdan18 That's why Stephen Colbert goes with his gut. “That’s where the truth lies, right down here in the gut. Do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head? You can look it up. Now, I know some of you are going to say, ‘I did look it up, and that’s not true.’ That’s ’cause you looked it up in a book. Next time, look it up in your gut. I did. My gut tells me that’s how our nervous system works.”

All of your points make sense, but I don’t think Eliot’s goal is widespread adoption by POC or equal representation. If I’m hearing him right, he’s just scratching his head that zero other kids like him or his brother Andrew had his opportunities or felt welcome. I think his goals are pretty modest and realistic- make the sport more welcoming and more inclusive.

TEAMROBOT Added a comment about product review Armour Tubeless Inserts
8/16/2020 10:06am
I suspect this is the case as you change air volume in a tire, but I'm not sure the user can feel it. The air volume effect on a tire certainly isn't anything like a fork where you can keep adding tokens until it's IMPOSSIBLE to bottom out. But I have a hunch this effect is part of the reason we run 22-25 psi in 29x2.5" Maxxis DH tires whereas everyone used to run 29-32 psi in 26x2.5" Maxxis DH tires. On top of being a smaller diameter, those old 2.5" 26 Minions were crazy skinny. I think the old...

Awesome! Diversity in cycling is a small aspect of a massive, complicated, and global issue. There's no easy solutions, but initiatives like this will hopefully help bring a change for the better. Definitely contributing :-)

Obviously, widespread adoption at the WC level will be the real test. I know Neko also tested with it but I don't recall seeing it on his bike lately.

That looked so good and like stupid fun to ride. Let off the brakes and rip some turns. Went to a race at Shasta in 2008 I think and I remember immediately switching to flats. Pumped to see the mountain is funding this bike park and expanding trails.
