Tannus Armour 2-in-1 Puncture and Rim Protector for inner tubes

Tannus Armour takes up some space inside the tire initially reserved for the inner tube, so you should use a narrower inner tube size than you would normally use.

The size of the inner tube depends on the width of the tire that we use.

In the inner tube range that we indicate for each size it is important that it is never greater than the maximum marked range.

The recommended inner tube size is always indicated on the packaging and website.

It is important to respect this aspect to guarantee effectiveness against puncture.

We have an ultra-light TPU inner tube (ECLIPSE) compatible with every Tannus Armour. Simply select the size of the Tannus Armour you are going to buy and select it in the drop down menu.

You will see that you can easily add tubes by clicking on them.

Tannus Armour is compatible with TPU (thermo-elastomer) inner tubes (Polyurethane). Thanks to this type of tube, the total weight of the wheel assembly is optimized.

Ultralight tubes have a high price compared to traditional butyl tubes, but thanks to the price of the Tannus Armour, the combination of the two elements is in the same price range as a Tubeless Liner. Not bad, right?

Tannus Armour can also be used with inner tubes that have anti-puncture liquid (slime) but it is not necessary, but if you want to add an extra protection there would be no problem.

Although it can be used, check that the size is appropriate and recommended in each case as indicated in the packaging, assembly guide and web.

Tannus Armour 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.

Complete protection: hard to pierce, protection against punctures, side cuts and rim dents.

More comfort: notably absorb vibrations for a smoother ride.

Maximum control: allows pedaling at low pressures for greater grip and better tracing.

Lightweight and Durable: great balance between speed and protection, + 7,000km without maintenance.

No, Tannus Armour is designed to work with an inner tube, it cannot be used without an inner tube.

For Tubeless protection you must choose the special reference for it: Tannus Tubeless.

Tannus Armour is compatible with the Tubolito inner tube or similar (thermo-elastomer) (Polyurethane). Thanks to this type of tube, the weight of the wheel assembly is optimized.

Ultralight inner tubes have a high price compared to traditional butyl ones, but thanks to the cost of Tannus Armour, the combination of both elements falls within the price range of a Tubeless Liner. Not bad, right?

Tannus Armour can also be used with inner tubes that have anti-puncture sealant (slime) but it is not necessary, now if you want to add an extra extra protection there would be no problem.

Despite being able to use, check that the size is adequate and recommended in each case as indicated on the packaging, assembly guide and website.

It definitely depends on personal preferences and it also depends on the cycling discipline you do.

However, the rule of thumb for MTB:

• For previous Tubeless users, test with a pressure between 5-6 PSI (0.37 BAR) less than what you would be riding normally. 
• For inner tube users, test about 10 PSI (0.68 BAR) less. 
• For those who have no idea of the pressures to use, inflate to a high pressure above 25 PSI (1.7 BAR) and gradually release pressure to the point that you feel that the pressure is not too low to ride.
• For Gravel and Road, again, it depends on the personal preferences of each one, but what we recommend is to start about ⅔ of the pressure that you normally carry.

Tannus Armour should be trimmed based on the width of the tire used.

If it is not trimmed when indicated or trimmed when not, it will not be installed properly and therefore will affect performance.

Not all Tannus Armour have the cut line, as some sizes do not need to be trimmed.

The indication is always indicated on the packaging, assembly guide and website.

Always cut with scissors.

Tannus Armour is easy to install, these are the only tools, not always necessary:

• Scissors (To trim Armour, depending on cover size used)
  

• Levers (To facilitate the tire beading)
• Talcum powder (To facilitate the tire beading)

Tannus Armour is easy to assemble, however the following tips can make assembly even easier:

Before assembly, you must check that you are using the correct inner tube and following the cutting instructions.

• Clean well any remaining sealant and foreign objects inside your tire
• Place one side of the tire on one wall of the rim first
• Use talcum powder, to facilitate the beading of the Tannus Armour on the rim
• An additional precaution is that when placing the Armour, do not pinch the inner tube
• Slightly inflate the inner tube and start by placing it on the rim through the valve
• Insert the other wing of the Tannus Armour inside the rim, it will facilitate beading
• Finally, bead the other side of the tire on the rim and proceed to the final steps

Deflate the inner tube and adjust the Armour

Center the Armour around the wheel

Inflate to a high pressure for adjustment
