Flat Tire Defender

Aaron Gwin's post to Instagram... Basically a foam insert that sits in the wheel bed, adding rigidity to the side of the wheel, and an extra cushion while riding.

There's an in depth article over on Pinkbike. Looks like a great product but I haven't had a flat in several years (PFFFFfffffffffTTTTttt--Damn!)

Here ya go:

Great idea but unless you're a hardcore downhiller it's not worth the weight penalty. 330g for plus size. And as Ross said no flats in several years running tubeless.

 

Good read! Thanks for sharing... I was just happy to see that this product has Buffalo roots (in the one I linked). Now, we can claim chicken wings, beef on weck, Weber's mustard, the most consecutive Super Bowl losses, the worst blizzard in US history, and now tire inserts!
