When you purchase something after clicking on an affiliate link, the price you pay will not be affected, but I will receive a small commission from the seller. I also wanted the goggles to be on the hat, not on their faces, as I thought that might irritate them. I love these goggles from Playing with Scissors (found on Pinterest), but I wanted to use hard hats, rather than a beanie (because it’s Summer here and a beanie might be too hot). We were invited to a fancy dress party a couple of weeks ago and the boys knew they wanted to dress up as Minions (they are BIG fans of Despicable Me)! Here is my easy DIY Minion costume tutorial. With Tannus, when I tried riding it with a flat, the insert folds over to one side, pushing the tire far enough over to rub the frame.Full tutorial for a DIY Minion costume (complete with hard hats, Gru logo, goggles and crazy hair) – great for a fancy dress party or Halloween outfit. If you get a flat, you can ride it out on the Cush Core insert, as it holds the tires to the rim. Tannus is malleable enough that you can still ding your rim with a hard impact. If you're riding expensive carbon rims that you want to protect from impacts, Cush Core is the way to go. Being a bigger and heavier insert, it better supports the tire through bigger impacts. Protection - For ultimate protection, Cush Core wins hands down. To me, the Tannus has a better overall feel while still providing enough dampening. With Tannus, these inserts have 2 air pockets, above and below the insert, maintaining the natural rebound of the tire. To me, the tire rebound was an unnatural feel, like I said, it felt dead. Since Cush Core takes up so much space inside the tire, the air volume changes the rebound of the tire. I expected the usual hand fatigue on the first couple runs, but with Cush Core, it deadened the ride so much that I really had zero hand fatigue all day. With Cush Core, I was able to ride them at a lift-served bike park, and with the recent pandemic, this was my first day back at the lifts in over a year. ![]() Arm pump and hand fatigue was reduced with both. This was also much better for Sedona's rolling terrain.ĭampening - Both inserts provide considerable benefits to dampening and soaking up extra vibrations. With the Tannus weight, there is a nice balance between feeling the extra bulk, yet still feeling a lively ride characteristic similar to no insert at all - promoting the usual pumping and jumping trail features that makes riding fun. Not necessarily a bad thing if traction is your priority, but not a lively feel. ![]() I felt that Cush Core was heavy enough that it completely changed the bike handling characteristics, making it feel dead and planted. Weight - The Tannus inserts are half the weight of Cush Core Pro, but still adds some rolling weight that can be felt when climbing or accelerating, at 150 gram per insert. Another benefit with Tannus, is that you can use your standard tubeless valve, while Cush Core requires installing their required valves. This insert is more malleable and easier to move with the tire bead. Tannus, on the other hand, needs a similar technique but not nearly as much effort. It even helped to push in the tire bead with a tire lever, that way the tire is better seated and not overly tight when pushing the last section of tire into the rim. You really have to work the tire bead in order to get the tire on. On first impression, Cush Core is much much harder to install. Installation - Installing inserts can be tricky at first, but over time there is a technique to it.
