Getting on the Hydra band wagon

[Zachdds]

Went back to 26x4.8, not going to worry with Tannus and just go tubeless. I think the spec is dialed in now.

My only concern with this would be the range. With tires that size, I run them at a low psi (they get bouncy if too much air). They are great with a huge patch touching ground, but they are very inefficient. Wouldn’t surprise me at all that if maintaining 20 mph or more and they will be using 30+ watts/mile. I would have some range anxiety with anything over 20 miles.

Looking back a few posts I see that I had promised to post what the Tannus feel like in use - then I promptly forgot about it. I couldn't attribute any certain feel to having them in. Maybe I could perceive something if I rode with them, pulled them out, and rode the same terrain again.

It's comforting to think I could ride home carefully on a flat if one occurred.

Do you know if they installed the 27.5x2.5 tubeless insert?
Or the 27.5x2.6-3.0 insert with tube?
I did not order mine with armor, but I installed them on my last bike and want to install them on this one.
Thanks

Has tubes. Must be the tubed inserts and slightly smaller tubes.

It feels and rides fine to me.

Just installed the tannus insert. Not as easy as when I did my 26x4 tires, but doable. I made the mistake of ordering the tubes from tannus. The ones they sent has none removable cores.
