Title: Puncture protection
Post by: Gazpacho_Warrior on May 20, 2021, 01:14:32 PM
Hi there, first post on here after going for the Radrunner 1. Waiting for delivery is killing me!

I've been using the downtime to research the mods and I'm thinking of getting some puncture protection to avoid any heavy and long walks home.

Any suggestions/ links highly welcome.

Thanks

this seems to be a popular option.

check out the "tannus armour bundle" on the rad power site - https://bit.ly/3p9fN0y

Thanks.

I'm in the UK and that doesn't seem to be available on the Euro site.

I'll contact them to see if we can get it over the pond too.

if no options from rad check tannus' u.k. site -

I saw a video where someone used foam tube inserts on a BMX wheel kind of similar thing but a lot cheaper, I was thinking of giving it a go if I keep getting punctures. Ive had my radrunner a couple of days now, really happy so far, no punctures yet lol

I gave away a set of 4"-5" Mr. Tuffy tire liners. They work on all my other bikes just fine but I'm trying the Tannus liners on my 'Runner.

i just bought a radrunner 1 on May 22nd so i feel your pain!  i'm currently doing the same thing you are and researching/buying all kinds of goodies for the RR1. i did buy a set of mr tuffy's for the RR1 and will have them installed when the bike gets here. i bought them because i've had them in my gary fischer kai tai bike for about 15 years and have had 2 flats. 1 flat was a sidewall puncture and the other was a curb job, so i'm sold on them and am hoping they will work as well on the RR1. if they don't work out i will try the tannus armour inserts.
