Product Information
Full details
The CushCore Pro Set - 29 Inch is designed for mountain bikers seeking to push their limits on challenging terrain. It offers a significant upgrade in tire and suspension performance, allowing for faster and more controlled descents. A potential caveat is the added weight and the need for proper tubeless setup. This system features an engineered foam insert mounted inside your tire, which absorbs impacts, reduces vibration, and enhances lateral stability. Key features include improved suspension performance, reduced impact force, increased sidewall stability, and a smoother ride with reduced rolling resistance.

FAQs
What is the weight of the CushCore Pro Set - 29 Inch?
The CushCore Pro Set for 29-inch wheels weighs approximately 260g per insert, totaling around 520g for the pair.
Can I use CushCore with sealant?
Yes, CushCore is designed to be used with standard tubeless tire sealants.
How does CushCore affect tire pressure?
CushCore allows you to run lower tire pressures without compromising sidewall support. The air pressure inside the CushCore insert is set independently and works with the air in the tire.
Is CushCore difficult to install?
Installation requires more care than a standard tubeless setup due to the foam insert. Following the provided instructions carefully is recommended. Some users find it easier with tire levers designed for tubeless setups.
Will CushCore make my ride harsher?
No, CushCore is designed to absorb impacts and dampen vibrations, leading to a smoother and more comfortable ride, not a harsher one.
How do I clean the CushCore insert?
If removed from the tire, the CushCore insert can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Ensure it is dry before reinstallation.
What is the difference between CushCore Pro and other versions?
The Pro version is the original full-performance model. While other versions might exist, the Pro is generally considered the benchmark for high-performance mountain biking applications.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty seating the tire bead
Ensure the CushCore is properly centered. Try inflating to a higher pressure temporarily (use caution and stay within rim/tire limits) or use a tire inflation booster. Make sure the tire bead is pushed into the center channel of the rim to aid seating.
Air leaking around the valve stem
Ensure the valve is installed correctly and the base is sealed against the rim. Tighten the valve lock nut. Check the valve core for tightness.
Tire feels too firm or bouncy
Check the air pressure within the CushCore insert. It should be set according to the recommendations or your preference, separate from the main tire pressure. Ensure you are using the correct CushCore valve and not a standard valve.
Insert doesn't fit the rim/tire
Verify that your rim's inner width and tire width are within the specified range (22-35mm inner rim, 2.1"-2.6" tire). Ensure you have the correct size CushCore for your wheel diameter (29 inch).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: The CushCore Pro Set - 29 Inch is designed for 29-inch wheels with an inner rim width between 22mm and 35mm. It is compatible with tire widths ranging from 2.1" to 2.6". The system requires tubeless-ready or tubeless-converted rims and tires, and is compatible with standard tubeless sealants.
Setup:
- Ensure your rim is clean and ready for tubeless setup.
- Install the CushCore Presta air valve, ensuring a good seal.
- Carefully insert the CushCore foam into the tire, working it around the rim.
- Mount the tire onto the rim, ensuring both beads are seated correctly.
- Add tubeless sealant through the valve stem.
- Inflate the tire to the desired pressure. Initially, you may need to inflate to a higher pressure to fully seat the tire bead against the rim. Refer to the included installation instructions for detailed steps and visual guides.
Care:
- Clean the CushCore insert with mild soap and water if removed from the tire.
- Regularly check tire pressure as recommended for your riding style.
- Inspect the insert for any damage during tire changes.
