- After exploring the various options for tyre inserts, I decided to make my own. So in this shed time I design, make, install and test my own "Foamserts".

Another thing I really like about this video is how you focussed your energy on cutting the cost of those expensive tire inserts.
With a bit of time and patience, more or less anyone an do it.
Have to admit I saw the title of this vid and thought you were going to sit out in your shed and cut away at some foam with an X-acto knife. Very cool stuff with the laser cutter. You really saw the light on that one.
I could of done that, but when you can use lasers, use lasers!
happy to test it and compare to others (tested HC for last few months)
Great video
Thanks for watching! Sub for more like this!
Great job on this man! So question, how do these help protect the rims? Do they lay just above the rim inside the tire so when you get impact they protect the rim?
Regular Guy Mountain Biking, exactly that, they provide a cushion between the tyre side wall the rim and what ever hard edge you hit harder than you wanted too!
Regular Guy Mountain Biking still need to improve my audios consistency though, always room for improvement!
I've been thinking the same thing myself to get a wee bit more protection for my back wheel alone with some peace of mind. I'll give it a go. Wish I had a laser cutter!
Laser cutter is neat but a scalpel and some patience will do the same thing. Itcwrtainly gives some protection but it also works as a volume spacer in your tyre. I have another video on the channel talking about why I use inserts and their duel benefits 🤘.
@@StravaigingMTB Excellent. I'll look for that one.
I'm going back to a hardtail later this year, and I figure it will make sense to beef things up in back. Just in case.
Cheers
th-cam.com/video/DfpbM4Rm288/w-d-xo.html here it is, and yeah of totally go for inserts on a HT. Happy build!
can you compare to Huck Norris? is it harder/firmer or softer? (foam)
Good evening. Would you consider selling a pair for 29” mtb wheels. I’m in the uk.
Kind regards
Allan
i'd buy yours. i've shredded a set of Hucks. they definitely saved my tyre and rim, but now i have fork out another £55 for a set, in less than a year :(
good work mate, how much are them laser cutters worth?
+sammyy a good few grand! Need really good extraction system aswell.
Interested to hear the follow up and if you think they are something more people should be using.
Ahh, to have a giant friggin laser to play with...
Benjamin Klein one of the glorious fringe benefits of working at an art school 👍
Can you provide a link or some information on what kind of foam you bought?
Lars Manuel foam was end of line, seller had other smaller pieces but all sold now.
3years on did the foam inserts hold up?
They held up pretty well all things considered. I still use them on my hardtails but have rimpact in the rear of my enduro rig.
Could you post the ebay link to the foam You've used please :) ?
tsuful see other comments. The seller o bought from is sold out but other similar stuff is available without to much trouble.
Can I use K-FLEX industrial isolation? for this?
Had a look up on their stuff, looks good, yeah should work.
Nice work. You can make a pretty tidy profit on that £20 foam investment.
Patrick Selwood go give my fb a like as I might be giving a few sets away.
Done. I would be keen to give them a try, like you i was put off by the price tag.
Great job would be keen on making this myself... Is there any chance you could send me the template?? I'm not to good on illustrater and i dont know how to make templates
+Lewis Carr sorry folk keep asking me to buy them so I'm not releasing the drawing. It's a simple enough path though, some TH-cam illustrator tutorials on paths and pathfinder will give you all you need.
cheers anyways ill sort it out
Why are the edges not cut in a straight line?
Good question, it stops the sealant getting trapped in one half of the tyre.
Rolling resistance
Great! I've a laser cutter and I'm trying to make my own, but will be a lot easier if you can send me your illustrator design.. can you please? ;)
Sorry dude, my drawings are mine, good luck with making your own!
4:45 how the hell did you do that?
The car tyre inflator hack? Its a old BMX trick.
th-cam.com/video/iyK5HHwGLs8/w-d-xo.html heres that hack in more detail.
yo you should start selling these
Who the hell has a Laser cutter at home lmao. Come on brah
Im lucky enough to have access to one at work, I spend a lot of time at work but I have no intentions of moving in!!
DIY??? What a joker! Who the hell has a laser cutter down in their garage/basement?
Not very original.
+Pukki34 neither is the wheel, but people are till working on that too.
