Has anybody tried the Cush Core? I know quite a few acoustic MTB guys who use it, but so far I only know of Hector using it on an eMTB.

I grew up in the 60s riding my bike in the country (where I lived) and I think my tires were goathead magnets. After lots of tube patches I started lining the tires with several layers of newspaper, and it worked quite well. Really cheap solution (there weren't any others back then).

Tubeless is the way! I also run CushCore with 20psi front, 24psi rear and haven’t had any issues. Don’t forgot to check your tire pressure often as there is no perfect system.

You could have just gone to the BEST protection against ALL types of flats and that is install Tannus Armour Tire Liners. The term bombproof is an apt description on the effectiveness of these liners.

as a rider with a duff left leg I don't need to fix flats on the trail , I will be getting the foam core for sure ,,, Thanks for the vid Aussie tracks are killers on tyres sharp quarts rocks everywhere I live ,,,, Rob

This video is a life saver

👍 Thank you. Very concise and informative.

If you're never too far from a bus stop, you can leave spare supplies at home. Unless you're determined to not cut your trip no matter what. If your trips are very unlikely to make your tire sealant useless and it's never too far to walk to another mode of transportation, it might make carrying a tube and pump an unnecessary encumbrance. I may eventually get a pump though if I find a tiny powered one that I trust.

Very good presentation! Thanks! Using Muck-Off tubeless conversion on 2 bikes!! So far, so good!

I had an idea but not sure if it will fly. Drill a second hole in the rim for a second inner tube. Please the first (flat) tube on the inside rim and a second tube outside of that (it would have to go under the first only next to the valve. Then put the tire on and inflate the second tube only. If you get a flat with the second tube, deflate it fully and inflate the first one. I think that would fly but I've never heard of it being done. A slight weight penalty but who cares on an ebike.

Cushcore tubeless with 18 psi in front and 24 in rear. Awesome traction and zero flats.

Installed Tannis liners and FLATOUT combo👍

Slime or Stans No Tubes put straight into inner tubes have saved my life several times. I see little point in going tubeless.

Must get this done...on the to do list. Thanks for the great review of options!

Really helpful stuff in here. Thanks for all the different options and thorough explanations.

Thanks. I just got the rhino liners for my bike after 3 flats in 2 months. Hope this solves issue

Often times people will produce a short video on a product that they Have just 1st tried and really have no in-depth knowledge as to whether it will or not it works. Your video was comprehensive and very informative. Thank you. PS I just had a flat this morning. A freaking paperclip of all things. I used Slime, it worked. It was what I had on hand but I've heard that Flat Out is even a better product. Any idea?

Hmm, you missed the easiest option. As I have driven Schwalbe Marathons with it‘s legendary puncture protection on my road, city and trecking bikes for so many years now, without having a puncture once, I tried the Marathon MTB with the highest rating in puncture protection on my MTB. This tyre is not a Magic Mary, but if you drive all kinds of terrain, this tyre is a joy to ride. I trust Schwalbe and it’s tyres so much, I would never take something with me to fix them, because it never happend in way more than 20.000km. The tyre is not ment for downhill, but it’s enough for nice flow trails.

It seemed to have discovered that slime tubes aren't the best option... as I've had some pretty consistent delamination of the rubber from the valve stems causing bubbles... ballooning of the valve stem? Beyond freaking annoying... surprisingly I've had good results with just letting the air out until the ballooning Saddles and then putting not just one but two or three zip ties in series across the stem... And then ignoring the piss out of the problem LOL so much for confidence on the trail

How often do you need to add the liquid sealer for the tubeless setup?

Thank Scotty

Great tips, thanks for the video 👍

Its definetly the best Way. Never ever without tubeless!!

I'm rocking a gates belt on my bike and yes its a bit of a pain to change that rear tire the first couple times. Also I know its confirmation bias but why is it always the damn rear tire when you've got a belt drive that gets the punture. had 3 slow leaks and 1 major roofing nail incident in the last 8 months, all in the rear. Only the nail killed the ride. Actualy got al the way inside the tube and started punching holes along the lenght of it as I went from full to flat in less than 100 yds. That said after you've done it a few times its not hard to pop the rear tire off even a belt drive. I'm not quite as fast as with a normal derailer but it only takes me about a minute longer now. Only issue is because of the belt tension when reinstalling the wheel never quite seats exactly the same way twice and I always have to adjust the rear brake calipers.

Wheres tannus armour?

The best solution involves three things: Tannus liners. Replace your tubes with smaller thicker motorcycle tubes. Insert the proper amount of FLAT OUT. This is by far the best solution.

What's the best solution for riding the Aventon Aventure (fat tire) in the city? It's my prime way of commuting & I just got a flat. Before I fix it, I wanna know the best remedy. Thank you, in advance!

CushCore or wide leather belt as insert

Great info

Tannus Armour

Is it possible to fit motorcycle tyres on a fat tyre e bike ??

Good info! So sick of getting flats.

What is a goat head puncture?

Nice

I live in a flat so what am i ganna do know

👍

I'm thinking a Tannus with a Cushcore inside it, plus some sealant could be the way to go for an EMTB. Goat heads be damned!

Flatout has been my solution.... 700+ miles on my ebike and no flats!

Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the father except by me John 14:6

Why does he keep saying EMTB hahaha.
