Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Tannus Armour Tire Insert: The Ultimate Puncture Protection for Bike Tires by Brandon Page

Revainrating 4 out of 5

1000 Mile View - Sports

I've been waiting to review this because I wanted it to be thoughtful and helpful. This review is done after installation on 2 bikes with over 500 miles on each road bike. I needed a solution, I guess I live in the goat head thorn capital of the world. I would refuse every second trip. I liked them a lot at first, a dozen rides without a puncture. Then deflated 3 of 4 tires over 5 consecutive rides. I contacted the manufacturer as to why this might be happening and initially they responded by making sure I had the correct tire and tube size etc. But when everything was fine and I asked a few more questions and sent pictures, they stopped responding. I got that. Either the website or the box says to drain the pipes after each ride. I did it religiously, and when I flattened it and changed it, each of the tubes folded on itself, chafing a hole in itself. I assumed it must be due to repeated pressure changes. When I stopped draining them after every ride, they stopped. I just keep them inflated all the time. I don't know how this affects durability in general, maybe they're getting thinner and more likely to puncture? Anyway, once I figured it out, very happy with their work.

Pros
  • Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
