      That’s what I was hoping for. I don’t think my decision of flat protection will ride on the softness added. I actually prefer a stiffness because I get a more efficient thrust out of my pedaling. Softening is like low tire pressure that makes you do extra work.

    I once used Tannus Armour and after a while both the front and rear Armour compressed permanently to about 1/8 of an inch in thickness. I got a flat from a small metal shaving in the front tire and it went right through the Tannus Armour. I tried riding with a front tire flat with the Tannus Armour and stopped because I was concerned about the rim becoming damaged. I no longer use Tannus Armour and use some tire liners with Schwalbe Marathon Plus MTB Smart Guard. They are heavy tires and are advertised as being thick enough to not get flats from objects the size of a thumbtack. I road several thousand miles without any flats.
    If your bike tires are as flat resistant as car tires, that is ideal. Objects like screws and nails that give car tires a flat will also give you bike tires a flat unless you have airless tires or airless tire liners.

    Interesting comparison - My personal experience riding in Southern California (Mecca for Goathead thorns) is that Tannus proves worthy. I have used several "liners" and none worked as needed. I've had the Tannus inserts w/tubes for about 6 months now and not 1 flat. I thought it would be interesting to count the thorns I picked up and pulled out, over 50 so far. I'm a believer in the Tannus solution.

    On my hub motor on back tire e bike, i fixed flats n put the mr tuffy liner on without taking back tire off, i use rachet strap to raise back end of bike up off ground strapped around a tree branch or beam of roof or whatever you can strap it to
    People when you go riding on hub motor ebike carry a rachet strap also so you can fix a flat easier if you need to, works good when putting tire back on with tire up in air, also carry bottle of unexpired bottle of green slime or 2 bottles, this saved me a few times fixing flats, best to put green slime in before you go riding, carry extra valve stems, one time green slim messed up my valve stem n couldn't pump up tire- had to put new one in, also carry steal long valve stem remover tool- one time plastic valve stem remover tool on green slime bottle broke n wouldn't take valve stem out, also carry skinny needle noise plyers- one time valve stem got stuck n valve stem remover tool wouldn't remove it

    UPDATE. I knew I read it somewhere, so I got out my Tannus installation guide and on page 3 under Tips For Installing Tannus Armour it states (It is common for the Amour to compress over time. It still is providing shock absorption and puncture resistance but will perform better when properly maintained. To minimize compression deflate the tires while not use. This allows the Armour compound to rebound to provide ideal performance.) So does that mean when your not riding your bike, your suppose to let the air out of the tires? I'm sorry but that's not happening. I don't know how everyone else feels, but if I would have known that earlier, I would not have purchased the Armours.

Double your protection and double your fun. Their is nothing wrong with redundancy and it will keep you from walking your bike many miles, or save you time with an on-the-spot repair job. Who knows what type of weather conditions await you? I did not notice any different ride quality with both of the tire protector products. I love your videos on Rad Bike upgrades.

  • @randomactsofcooking
    @randomactsofcooking 2 роки тому +2

    My observation on the Mr Tuffy liners. Yes, they do reduce the goats head thorn punctures. If you get a tuff thorn and it breaks off and the pointy part stays in the tire after more riding the thorn WILL get thru the tube. Yes the rolling resistance is less, however the ride over gravel/sidewalk cracks is much rougher.

      That's what keeps me from getting them. I've heard mixed opinions on the resistance, but I don't see how it's not gonna be a little too squishy and slow for road use. Trails, I'll be on them all day. Absolutely. But for an ebike that spends more time on the road, I think I'd rather stick to double skin tubes. The amount a slightly too low tire slows you down, and drains the battery is substantial enough for me to skip them. Sucks because I like the idea and really want them, but I'll wait until I do up a straight trail ride. I really wish they would get on different composition/hardness options. And I mean it's not like they're super overpriced. But especially the fatties, are a little ridiculous for a little piece of molded foam. You don't really have much choice if you need them, and I wouldn't mind the price if I do end up needing them enough. But I've only got two flats in the past year, and both could have potentially gone right through the t.a. anyway. Big spike of glass, and then metal. Idk. Doubling an old tube or two has kept out the little dumb stuff, so.

    This liner are expensive but ended up buying a 20x4 and 26x4 for my 2 big sur ebikes. Pain to install them. My question will be , do I leave them like that, or should I go tubeless? By the way a have the tannus the other ones can cause punture between the inner tube and the liner if the psi is low and ride it like that

    I used the Mr. Tuffy liners on the current build.
    50 miles, and my first Flat this morning. Need to pull the tire off this evening, and find out what the cause is.
    There’s a trick to inserting liners - insert an aired up tube to hold the liner in place, and go around the rim about 30 degrees at a time, tucking in the liner a bit at a time, then checking that it’s centered before popping it on the rim…

    Was getting crazy flats on the rear of my Ariel Rider X-Class which is a 20x4.0 size. Installed a Mr. Tuffy and have yet to get a flat in over 1,000 miles mostly off-road. My original rear tire had gotten somewhat large holes ripped in it and the tire liner started to become the tire lol. The tire never went flat, even with the liner showing through! I found the install to be not as easy as I thought. I wish the Mr. Tuffy could stick to the inside of the tire with some mild adhesive. It seemed like the liner might slide to one side or the other if you're not careful.

    • @RideTannus
      @RideTannus 2 роки тому +1

      The Armour will compress some after it’s installed depending on the pressure of the tire. The higher the psi the more condensed the Armour will become. If you wish to keep the Armour as thick as possible then maintain a lower psi. You may also deflate your tire if you’re not going to be riding for a longer period. This allows the Armour to rebound back to its original size.

      I’m 73 years old and like the safety feature and extremely strong frame and good looks of my radrunner plus! I purchased it online a year ago. I chose this brand in that not being to test drive it , rad had a 14 day no questions asked refund policy,you pay return shipping unless a factory defect. Also must not have scratched or damaged the bike. It is rather heavy and I believe the mini stepthru rad over would have been a good alternative in that it is lighter, foldable, and $500 less. All of the safety features on my Radrunner plus at a cost of $1800 would have cost about $3000 with other brands. Whatever brand you buy get a step thru! You won’t regret it, at least with the strong frame of a Radrunner Plus!

    I am looking at those same two liners for my new ebike, a fat 20 tire bike. I'm fat so I needed a fat tire one. Anyway, 5 years ago I built a 29" motorized bicycle. It came with cheapo tires on it. Riding the neighborhood I had 3 flats in the first couple months. Always the back tire. I put on some Continental bike tires, 29 X 2.25s, and Tuffy liners. No more flats. Flat tires ruin the whole concept of bicycling for older riders like me. I can't be walking the bike home several miles. The last time I hid it in some bushes, walked home, got the car and came back. Dollar for dollar, I think the Tuffys make more cents. An object longer than the foam is thick will flatten a foam lined tire.
    The Tuffy liners are actually tough.
