Tannus Tubeless Rim Protector for tubeless tire (MTB/Gravel)

29″x 2.1″ - 2.6″ (PRO) weighs only 155 Gr.

27.5″x 2.1″ - 2.6″ (PRO) weighs only 140 grams.

700 x 33-47 weighs only 70 grams.

To give you an idea, an inner tube weighs between 160 and 190 grams, so it is lighter than most inner tubes.

Additionally, the Aither compound of the Tannus Tubeless does NOT absorb sealant so the lightness of the insert is always maintained.

UNIQUE DESIGN: More stability in curves thanks to its sidewings providing greater performance.

GREATER PROTECTION: Absorbs up to 50% more impacts and vibrations from the ground. Protect the rim and avoid cuts on the tire.

DOES NOT ABSORB SEALANT: The Aither compound does not absorb the sealant, maintaining the lightness of the insert and eliminating future maintenance.

RIDE FLAT: Allows you to ride at (10 km / h) protecting the rim in the event of a puncture.

EASY INSTALLATION: Simple installation in just 5 minutes, without the need for an air compressor.

GO FASTER: Thanks to its design, rolling resistance is reduced by 3%.*

There are 2 kinds of Tubeless inserts:

• Against the rim inserts
• "Floating" in the tire inserts

Inserts that sit tightly against your rim are great, but the insert will dissipate the force directly into the rim, leading to reports from bike shops all over the country saying that rims are breaking more often with this kind of insert than without an insert even. They will also make the ride feel "dead" and "boring" according to several riders who used to ride them. Lastly they are usually VERY difficult to install.

The downside of "floating" inserts is that they do in fact provide rim protection, but no ride quality advantages. They are adding weight to your bike, but ride just like a standard tubeless tire.

Tannus Tubeless combines the ride quality benefits of an insert seated up against the rim, but with the weight and easy installation of a floating insert. This is made possible by the flexible "Wings" that allow the insert to sit higher in the tire, but still provide 20mm of rim protection.

Tannus Tubeless is made from a patent material called Aither. It is a high-quality foam-like polymer that offers vibration damping, a smoother ride and resistance to punctures.

Compound enhancements for Tannus Tubeless:

• STRONGER (20mm protection)
• LIGHTER (50% + than the Armour for inner tubes)
• DOES NOT ABSORB SEALANT LIQUID

Thanks to the shape of the Tannus Tubeless, it has been possible to improve rolling resistance.

When using it, it goes 3% faster than without using a mousse / insert.

As the tire is compressed while pedaling, the tire has a rebound property. This bouncing property 'propels' the bike forward.

The Tannus Tubeless adds an additional rebound element that adds to the propulsion of a standard tire, making pedaling even faster.

The sealant must be "Tubeless Specific".

The recommended amount of sealant for proper operation is between 118 ml and 177 ml per tire.

Recomendations:

• If you've made some sealant in your garage, we can't guarantee anything, but props to you for trying.
• Also, don't use any "tube" sealants IE Slime, Flat Attack etc.

It is to allow the sealant reach the outside of the tire, as we don't want the sealant to stay “stuck” on one side of the tire.

We want the sealant to flow inside of the tire when is spinning around. The holes are there to let it flow.

This way there will always be enough sealant to seal punctures.

It does not affect the mounting, however one of the mounting techniques is that if you are going to place the sealant after installing the Tannus Tubeless and tire, it is to try to align one of the holes where the valve is to apply it directly to the rim.

Nope! Any tubeless valve will get the job done.

This is made possible by the flexible wings that create two chambers within the system. You can put the sealant in, and the holes in the insert allow the sealant to pass through without getting stuck on one side of the insert.

Most mousse come with a specific valve, they allow air to enter sideways since the mousse itself covers the upper part of the valve. With Tannus Tubeless they are not necessary and you can use of your current valves.

All you'll need are tubeless specific rims and you'll be all set!

Make sure that you tape them well, a poorly taped tubeless system has more flat issues than anything else out there.
