As long as Rad doesn't tack on their crazy shipping charges. I know everyone has to eat but Rad shipping on accessories is $teep!

I installed my Tannus liners and tubes yesterday. The install went fine, and it was easier for me to take the tire all the way off. It also helps to unpackage the liners and let them get to a semi-normal shape.

I have to say I'm not a fan of the ride though. 22 PSI was way too hard. 18 was still harder than I wanted. 16 PSI was better, but the tires feel dead and lifeless. I guess I'll have to get used to 18 PSI, and take solace that flats are less likely. Ironically, I'm one of those people who almost never gets flats for some reason, despite crunching through broken glass on the RadMini at least twice. On the plus side, the handling is more responsive as long as the pressure is above 16, and the bike does not squirm when riding on top of a line in the pavement. And, I did get a cool pic for Instagram 😉

I put the Tannus Liners on my Rover last year and I could not tell the difference. To me the ride is the same.

Couple of questions regarding the Tannus. Did you have to cut the liner in order to fit it to the Rover or was it a perfect fit? What psi are you using? And, of course, any flats?

Thanks,

George

I have had no flats. I did not trim the liners. I am doing 29 psi.

I've ridden bicycles all my life, and mopeds, scooters and motorcycles as well. It's part of my DNA to avoid broken glass and other flat threats. I personally don't wanna test the Tannus liners on purpose. But this is my take on them since I use them. Any of you have a beater bmx/runabout bike as a kid? One you just rode the heck out of? Did you ever do the double tire trick? You take a worn out tire and put it inside the new tire to reduce flat risk. I did it with a old beach cruiser and never got a flat. The double tire mod made it a bit heaver to pedal but I was younger so I got used to it. But even then I still tried my best to avoid flat hazards. So the Tannus liners just seem like a modern version of that old double tire trick.

Hi everyone,

I have a Radmini 4 with the tannus armour just installed (I bought the bundle selled in radpower website). The tube just blowed up after a few km of use and I need to replace it. Unfortunately, I can't find the specifications of the tube for the tannus armour in their website or elsewhere. I don't have the tools to remove the tube, since I'm out on vacations, and would like to buy a new tube before going to the bike workshop. I've already asked Rad Power Bikes support via email almost 2 weeks ago but they don't answer... Inadmissible, I know, that is why I came to ask here.
If anyone can help, I would very much appreciate.

Thank you,
Ricardo

Is this not the correct size for your Mini?

I work at a shop and all I can say is we no longer sell Tannis armor. It's a pain to install, flats still happen and it compresses over time.

It sas right on the label that you are supposed to "Deflate your tires after every ride to increase the life of the product"

No one reads that part and Tannis doesn't make it obvious. No one is going to let the air out of their tires after a quick trip to the corner store. 

Use Flat Out sealant instead.
