This episode of the podcast is supported by CushCore. Our recent episode with their inventor and founder, Adam Krefting, is available here. These inserts are more than just a rim protector, giving improved damping, better cornering support, lower rolling resistance and an improved ability to roll through chunky terrain. They are used by riders like EWS star Martin Maes, and 3x World DH champ Loic Bruni. You can find out more at cushcore.com, or over on Instagram @cushcore.
