Actual Product exceeds description
I put these on my commuter bike and mountain bike. I'm big, 230 pounds, and these stop flats. Also, the armor itself makes cushion of perfect firmness for riding. It feels like a grippy pillow. Hard to explain, but they feel grat and perform great. These are great. Putting them on all my bikes.

Very, very worth it.
OK, for starters, these things are IMPOSSIBLE to put on. Unless you read and follow the instructions. When you actually follow the instructions, they are really not very hard to install. I put these on the rear wheel of my ebike, on a WTB wheel. So the spokes are asymetrical on the rim, and I tried to put the tire on the side that didn't have spokes. It was impossible. I read the instructions on the Armour, looked again at the rim and realized that I needed to put it on the side that had the spokes so that there was a little more space along the spoke holes. It was a LITTLE harder than putting on a regular tire.
Functionally, these are incredible. I didn't pump up my tire enough and this thing rolled an entire ride and prevented what should have been a billion pinch flats. I can now roll with lighter pressure without fear of a flat, and I'm a big guy on a heavy ebike. These are FAR BETTER than I expected. I'm now putting them on my cargo bike and I'm looking into all other Tannus products. Their airless tires are also EXCEPTIONAL. I'm beyond impressed.

Tannus Tubeless Pro inserts installation
I have to admit I have always been a bit skeptical about installing tire inserts. A lot of what I read previously was there is a nightmare. Then I found Tannus. Spent a good bit of time reading reviews and watching various YouTube vids until I felt comfortable enough with purchasing for my trail / downhill bike. The installation process was pretty straight forward. I run downhill casings on my Maxxis tires so that in itself is a joy bead wise. But I knew this going in. I got the bike in the stand, started with the back and then the front. Just popped the bead on one side which allowed for my to get the inserts in and center. Seated the bead, topped of with sealant and repeat. Only issue I had was with the front wheel. After insert installation and mounting, I noticed some wobble. Removed the valve core and worked my finger around the wheel ensuing the the insert was centered on the rim. Popped the bead back, added sealant and air and we were a lot closer. Turns out I had to true the front wheel in the end. I consider myself an accomplished amateur bike mechanic doing everything to maintenance to complete builds. That being said I would say that working with the Tannus project would be something anoyone with basic experience could undertake. Have patience and have spare tire levers (depending on the thickness of your casing).

Safe in the Back Country
I ride into the back country on the Deschutes River for fishing. I carry a lot of gear, and ride over dirt, gravel, not a small amount of very angular basalt, and sometimes a good amount of weeds and plants including goat heads. It is known to be very hard on bike tires.
With these, and Shwalbe Marathon Plus MTB tires, I ride without fear. Carrying spare tires and tools is almost a waste of weight at this point.

The best
I've been making custom motor bike for seven years and the biggest problem I've had is when u put slime or any thing to help combat flats it all will gather to one place inside of the tires when u get to a certain speed and most of the time it doesn't even fix the leak ,and u get a wobbling in both your tires that will make u crash ,but with the tannus system that is a thing of the past ,now i can pust what used to be the speed max (25-30 mph) all the way to 65mph (with a dry shot of nos) and it is smooth as flying,it might be a little pricey but I've gone the other route and in the long run (over life of exterior tire)I've saved more money from not having to replace tubes and puncture proofing over again that paid for the tannus system for both tires at least 3 times over

This is a must for NYC riders
I randomly saw this in a shop , the shop specializes in all thing PEV, I had some hydro brake fluid issues, they set me up quick and easy, check my ride height, air pressure, the other brake, everything. I saw these red floppy worms on the floor and hanging up on hooks. I had to ask, it was pricey with the purchase and installation. I went home to research the inserts. Most reviews was ok, to just not worth it. I found most people are lazy and don’t do any basic checks and maintenance. The reason why customers gave it a not worth it reviews. It’s amazing. Expensive but it saves your sanity.

Save yourself the grief
Installed these on the wife's e-bike since she could find every tube destroying problem on any trail. Before the inserts almost every trip out she would get a flat and usually miles from the truck. Put these on and no flats since (1 year of riding on them).
Just upgraded her bike and I am now in search of inserts for the new bike tire size. Thanks to Tannus Armour inserts riding is fun...

Not again
I have a Rocky Mtn. Altitude ebike and I was riding a trail called skid marks ( they should of named it Rim Wrecker) for those of you familiar with the slaughter pen trail system in Bentonville,Ar. The very first jump is a rock jump with a sharp rock wall at the landing. I didn't have enough speed and my back tire cased it perfect for destroying my rim. Thanks to my insert I rode away a happy man! Last wknd. I cut my back tire 3 miles from my truck and no bacon. Again thanks to Tannus I was able to ride out. I love my inserts, best money I ever spent.

They Work
After a 2week span of getting multiple small puncture flats from thorns or goat heads on 45mm tires, I decided to give them a try. I was apprehensive at first, because I didn't want to give up any feel or performance on my gravel bike. I have had them for about 2 months and not a single flat, a couple of times I have even removed large goat heads, which normally would have made me change tubes during my ride. They do add a little weight, but worth it in my opinion and the install wasn't to hard. Also, I didn't experience any weird wobble or balance issues. I haven't tried them at low pressure in soft conditions yet due to weather I've mostly been riding hard gravel and road. I'm very happy with this purchase and thought I would leave a review, which I don't do very often, but if your on the fence like I was and concerned about lose of performance, don't be. Also had a positive experience with their customer service. I would highly recommend these inserts for gravel bikes.

Promising, but order and carry a spare tube!
Installation was a bit of a faf, but was just a matter of time before I got it on. I pumped up the included tube to 40 psi, thinking the only thing that could flat these would be a pinch flat. On my first ride, I rode some roads known for having goatheads on the side without any issue. I rode up a mountain fireroad and noted that the tire was impressively compliant, despite how much air I put in the tube. It wasn't until I turned around and had to come to a stop due to traffic. I must've stopped hard, as once I started rolling again, I felt the tire had gone flat. The tube was cut at the base of the valve.

Highly Recommend
I just ordered Tannus Armour inserts for my new e-bike. I had them installed over two years ago on my Aventon e-bike. Over 6,600 miles later, still NO flats. I live in Arizona where there are many branches with thorns on the streets and gravel; so WOW, what a great product. I highly recommend them which is obviously why I ordered another set!

Tannus has a bright future!
Today I rode my brand new specialized levo mixed wheelset. Loved my Tannus inserts on my first maiden voyage. 17 miles into my ride in the Idaho backcountry I experienced a sidewall tear on my rear wheel. All of my Stan’s leaked out and I was unable to seal the tear. I was able to limp 5 miles out to a road. I rode it out and was very careful not to take any hard hits on my tire and rim. No damage to my rim. Never has that ever happened to me and this is a total game changer in mountain biking. Tannus has a bright future!

Saying goodbye to "Goatheads"
I bought the Tannus Armour Inserts for both of our MTB E-Bikes and so far, love them! The insert was not that difficult to install, especially after installing the first one (learned the technique). I used footpowder (as recommended) in the tire and Insert, which allows for easy adjustments. The bikes ride very nicely, just took some experimenting with different tire pressures to find the PSI we liked (F=20, R=25). I'm hoping that the next time I have to change a tire on our bikes is to replace the tire and not because of a flat :-) Hoping for freedom and saying goodbye to goathead flats!

Flat prevention?
I don't know how well these are supposed to work. But!! Got a flat in for months! My other bike 1 flat in 8 years and no inserts. and i run the same lines when I the black top. Finishing was the culprit! I must have hit it just right!! I couldn't push the nail through! Now the only gripe I have is that they claim you can ride you bike home with a flat! My but you can!! My rims wuz grinding just walking it home. Wish the marathon pros came in 4"! These inserts and those tire! Hmmmm sound like one heck of a mix!! Gunna give them one more tube try!! Then I'm adding Mr tuffys or Dillons.

No More Flats!
I purchased the Tannus Armour inserts for my road bike after having flats every ride I went on in the spring. I haven't had a flat since installing the Tannus Armour. I thought I would notice the tire being heavier but have not. The inserts were easy to install and I no longer carry tubes with me while riding. There is reduced vibration and a smoother ride with Tannus Armour installed. I highly recommend these for all cyclists.

Good ride and no flats
The inserts were easy to install. No trimming required for my tires. I have ridden with them for a month now, with no flats riding six days a week for 15 miles on city streets and bike paths. Previously I averaged one flat per week with slime filled tires on the same routes. So far they have worked beyond expectations. No real difference in ride.
