Valuable review and exactly the info I've been looking for. I like the characteristics of a high tpi tire such as a Vee, but not their thin sidewalls and susceptibility to punctures. These tires also tend to self-steer themselves at lower pressure due to their extreme pliability. Sounds as if adding tannus inserts would be an ideal compromise for both issues. Armed with your helpful input, I am going to order tannus inserts right now. Thanks again... Douglas;)

Im running dissector front and ardent race rear, great for xc/downcountry. You really have to lean it over for the side knobs to bite, but if you lean it enough there is no shortage of grip. You can feel the transition from center tread to side knobs, i kind of like that feedback. But im still a begginer, just learning how to really corner well.

4 years later: I don't get how Diamonback was rated so much higher than Kona. If the Diamondback has less than ideal geometry, that should not allow it to be placed so high as a value, because geo matters as much as parts. BUT, update 2024: Kona has reduced prices...by a lot....across the board, with the original owners being back in charge. Perhaps a do-over of this type of video is in order?

back in my school days we used old fire hydrand hose, tough as nails. rode my bike for around 10km every day for 5 years and never had a single puncture, where i hade a puncture at least once 1-2 months before that. it probably wont give any grip benefits thou and the weight was noticeable

Seeing my old comment here, here's an update: I've spent hours fiddling around with this armour. I've had to install one a few times on a 17mm rim with a 2.25" schwalbe racing ralph (not recommended) and ofc I didn't bother cutting it the first time. I needed 2 extra hands to get it seated badly. It was a genuine nightmare but it finally allowed me to use a 2.25 tyre that wouldn't almost roll off or puncture every other day. Now I have a 24mm rim and the armour is flaccid. I also cut it to size and it's super easy to install now compared to the first time. I was scared of ripping the tyre, good thing the racing ralph is strong.
