Not to bury the lede, the Fimonda/Globact/AMK/etc. silicone inserts are a completely different animal from the Injora offerings. The non-Injora are wider, but how do they do in terms of rigidity/firmness, etc? Well, that's why we're here.
Links
Amazon is absolutely flooding with the non-Injora inserts. There has to be 30 different listings, and nearly as many "brands." These are the cheapest as of this posting.

Maybe due to the holiday, but the availability of Injora on Amazon is WAY down. They only have the unusable reds available.

This is exactly why I like your reviews. Because you know your rock course and you can break down the head to head comparison to the detail.

My experience with my tusks compared to my hyraxes is that the tusks treads don’t sidehill as well because of the lack of nubs to dig in and grab on the left and right directions to help the tires hold position from sliding. But for forward grip and push the tusks are great, pretty close to hyraxes on my terrain in all honesty with slight differences of course. So it’s a toss up for me between my hyraxes and tusks. It all comes down to rock what you got and make it work 👍🏻. And the tusks look great with its tread patterns.

Double buns do feel insanely firm, but i trust you so i left them on, yet to test. I picked up some 85A TPE and ventured into printing some free inserts from thingiverse, so my small fleet is in for a rigorous testing session when I eventually have time to wheel again.

You can just cut a shim out of fridge foam to fill out the sidewall gap. That's how I'm running Injora green in a set of Megalithics, and Injora blue in a set of Landmines.

I bought a set of the pink color or "purple" according to the listing.. But good lord they are super soft. But I have no clue what size tire to mount them in they seem super wide for 4.4 tire, and feel over stuffed.

@CrawlerCanyon 5 ай бұрын

Yerah, I think they'd be pretty overstuffed in a 4.4 tire. They do best in 4.65-4.75, and around 1 3/4" (47mm) wide.

I think we still need two tests to determine if the Fimonda Inserts are good enough: --- Fimonda vs Double Bun in a 4.75 tire --- Fimonda vs Injora (once they both break in) in Canyon Trails Anyway, I think the Canyon Custom Inserts are never going to be behind any other insert, they are just better overall Also, is there any way to get an alternative to the TimTin inners? I heard you talking about them for the first time a while ago, but havent seem them available in the months I have been part of the Canyon Community

@CrawlerCanyon 6 ай бұрын

Yeah, these will never be as good as a made-to-fit 3D printed insert-- but these are cheap, and can be slapped into a variety of tires. Try taking a 3D insert for a Tusk and putting it in a Canyon Trail. It's not gonna be great.

what is the wheel width you are using in the CT's? How did the pinks feel with side to side slop on the wheel? The test I have been waiting for. Now we need to test the fake hyrax and/or other fakes/knockoffs. Can you say that the pinks would be a touch better on a 7-8lb rig?

@CrawlerCanyon 6 ай бұрын

These are all 24mm ring wheels. So like... the middle one. Injoras are happiest (IME) on 21mm rings (really reduces sliding) but the non-Injora are much fatter, and happiest on 24mm. They slide a little bit, but not as bad as I was anticipating based on how much looser they are on the ring. The Injora are

@@SShiftRC Baseline in these vids is just under 2.5kg. The red inserts are for rigs up to 8 , and I can't even think of one that would qualify. You could cut a bunch of ribs out of reds to match your weight, as you're probably a bit heavy for the blues, which are best around 3.5kg and get a little sloppy past 4kg.

I still contend that a made-to-fit 3D printed insert is the highest level of performance, but they are finicky and cost prohibitive. These silicone guys are pretty good at doing the "all purpose" thing, and at $20-25 a set, it's fairly easy to take a pair of scissors to them.
