Just got a pair of Tannus inserts for my Hemiway Cruiser. The hardest, knuckle bruising part was aligning the innertube valve into the rim 'after' inserting the Tannus liner. Thanks so much for taking the time to post this, how-to video. Makes it so much easier than doing it blindly.
I used the same tire with the same tube and followed the instructions as provided. Took about an hour as I also put “ flat out” in tube as well. One point I highly recommend is to break the bead on both sides and to slightly inflate tube. The ride feels the same. Great video. Thank you.
Throwing the Tannus Armor into the Cloths dryer for 5 minutes straitens it out back to normal il also making it much more playable. You should try it trust me, makes it so much easier.
That is a new one for us. I like it! We've always recommended some sunlight or a hair dryer. I guess just make sure the boss is ok with it before ya do it lol. Thanks for sharing!
The instructions that came with my tire levers state that they are not for installing a tire. They should only be used for removing a tire from a rim or removing ears from under a flat brim hat.
Yeah those metal tire levers are a great way to mess your wheel up If you use a little body English hold your tire down into the drop Center you can generally do this with a small plastic tire liver or do it by hand is a decent video but there are a lot of mistakes they would give people trouble
From my experience working with Tannus Armour liners, you need to run smaller tubes. If not you'll have a heck of a hard time putting everything back together.
I followed along with what you did- I have a RAD Rover step thru 1 with 4" tires. When I removed the tire deflated and removed tube, this was the front tire. Then inserted the TA, it seemed big for the tire but finally got it in, then inserted a new tube that was sent with the TA, aligned valve pushed everything in place, then reset tire. Set on floor roll it around with a little weight, then began to inflate tire, stopping at 10#'s to roll and massage it, then finished inflating. After inflating to 15#'s I noticed valve stem was sitting at an angle, so deflated, repeated procedure from installing tube and reinflation, making sure valve stem was straight, once again valve stem was set at an angle, after full inflation. QUESTION: WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS?
@@ryanjspinks Got it straightened out, when it inflated the tire twisted, this caused it to keep kicking the valve stem off to the side. So now I have developed a process by which I install and then inflate to avoid this in the future, I have the rear tire to do this weekend.
@@whyndellgrizzard7495 Thank you for the information! I had the exact same problem today while installing the front tire...I finally had to take everything apart and start from the beginning being extra cautious to make sure the valve stem didn't tilt to one side while tucking the tire bead back in. VERY time consuming and frustrating. So, can you please explain with more detail what your discovered process consists of? Thank you so very much in advance for your help! I'm doing the rear wheel tomorrow :(
I had a bike shop installed these on my Cyrusher 690 . I can't go up a hill anymore without killing myself peddling with assist on. Could the shop have done something to the motor? The Batterie is good. This could be just bad timing for the motor as well. I had Cyrusher check everything via video. The thought it was the controller so I replaced it. No change. Just looking for advice. Thanks
once again no one has said what they can resist.thier not cheap.so for this money i expect 100% protection.itrs not like their a cheaper solution.plus how much smaller tubes? could i get away with 1.95-2.10 on a 2.8" tyre??? or is not problem with pinch flats.also vould you use tpu tubes this seems a better use can tpu tube have puncture proof slime in and could you use it here also with the Tannus Armour for complete piece of mind or maybe slime tape with this tannus is more then enough for 100%
no way in heck. I've gone 3 hours and can't get the armor to seat correctly. The initial insert of one side rolls over and won't stay up against wall it rides in the channel and won't move up and out of the way.
Get a bag of zipties & use them to hold the tire tightly to the rim as you work your way around it. You shouldn't have many zip ties left when you're done lol Oh & a little dish soap on the tire on the area that has to go over the under the rim helps alot
I just got some yesterday, it was a super easy install. Only thing is, I've noticed tire pressure drops, is that normal or due to the material condensing under the weight of my bike? The tube is the correct size and is brand new so I'm not sure if I did something wrong
Got my Tannus Armour today for my 29 x 2,60...i got a whole new set of Continental tires along with it..since it comes all bent up like that now after installing and taking it for a spin my wheels are bumpy af so im gonna ride it to and from work next week and if its still that bumpy im going tubeless.. probably shoulda listened to my gut feeling in the first place...
i've ordered 2 sets of tannus 26x4" armor and both dont fit on my paselec gs9 pro 26x4" fat tyre ebike, the armor is so tight on one side that there is no room for the 26x3 tubes that i have bought let alone to fully install it, am i doing something wrong or do i need a next size up and if so what should i go for, can anyone help
Sadly, these didn’t work at all for me. A small nail ran right in and now I have to patch the tire but it’s a lot harder to get the tire off. Any suggestions on how to do that??
Hi alus! Sorry to hear about the nail puncture. To get the inserts out all you need to do is reverse the steps shown by quietkat. Tire levers will be your best friend. Cheers

I'm already in too deep. Taking a break, been at it for about 45 minutes. 🫠
Thank you very much for your video sir , I was 2 minutes away from throwing away everything including the bike until I saw your video many thanks
😂 haha!! Nice to know that I'm not the only one.
This actually turned out to be even easier than it looked on UA-cam.....that's a first! 😂
Love to hear it!
I broke 4 fingers installing mine with a double down tire but its ok. I will heal and ride my bike after!! Cheers 🎉

Try inflating the tube on its own, valve stem may be crooked from the factory

Lol. I have the #2 and I still got a flat with these on. Now I can’t get the damn tire off and it’s frustrating as hell
According to tannus website you need a smaller tube. 26x3 tube for a 26x4 tire. You used the same one. I’m lost here
He says on the vid tannus recommends a smaller tube but if you don't have one the normal one will work 4:50
It came with them- but other youtube vid's continued with the 4"- after using the 3.5" it straightened out.
Boy I hope it’s as easy as you made it look
Some people just like to do it in the rear

No matter how much I massage everything, I still can’t get shot of a bulge in the sidewall, it moves each time I inflate. Very frustrating.
A local shop quoted me $40 a wheel to install these.
Good information but why didn't you show the tuff part like how to seal the bead to the rim?
I believe the procedure you mention is only for tubeless tires
Can a 3.0 inner tube fit for a 20" 4.0 inner tube I mean 20" 4.0 rim.My rims is 20" 4.0.But will a 3.0 go into a 20" 4.0 ?
i have a slime tape so if i got this Tannus Armour and used it too will this be enough so i dont have to buy more slime?

Thanks for posting.
They suggest trimming it did you have to trim or just tuck the excess liner in the rim?
awesome video!! Thanks
ive heard that tannus linner can deteriorate inside the tyre over time and mybe damage your inner tube.
What if it does, you want to give up protection from flats over time, to save a $20 tube?
A little bit of baby powder can help combat this. Creates a nice slip zone. If that is happening, it's most likely a tire defect? Cheers

i dont have the luxury of easily removing my rear wheel so i want full protection with no fucking around every 10 mins with a puncture
Thanks for the info!!!
Well done!
I have to do this without being able to take my front wheel off the bike... they hid the disconnect up inside the frame. Joy.
These things flatten to about 1/8 of the original thickness and cause flats.but I guess you know that by now .
How so?
