I will never ride without them! I got them via friend referral as a flat backup for the La Ruta race across Costa Rica. Sure enough, day 3 I flew into a rock garden and flatted. It was a really fast stage, and I only had 1.5 miles to go. I put the hammer down on a complete flat, but rideable thanks to the inserts; placing 8th. I am also able to run lower pressure with all of the benefits.
Picked up a Rimpact and Rimpact Pro for my bike after wrecking a tyre at a local enduro. Fitting a brand new Double Down DHR was easy thanks to the instructions on the Rimpact site. Since then I have done another local enduro (won the vets class) where the wheels took a few really big hits with zero damage to the tyres or rims. I'm a Rimpact convert.
Good value for a solid product. Save my time a few time over in the past so back for more!
They're way tougher than you think - you don't have to be over gentle when fitting them.
Awesome inserts, survived Mountain of Hellüí™üí™
Great service, awesome inserts. Best on the market.
Very smooth. Can't wait to get the inserts.
Reliable product just a thumb breaker to fit.
inserts and valves are very good, this will definitely not be my last purchase from Rimpact. Kind regards form Poland üáµüá±
Great
All goooood.
Prompt delivery, great products!
Never ride without protection.
Great product
Bit of an art to fitting, particularly with continental tyres and DT Swiss rims, no fault of the rimpact so far wheel is intact after some big hits!
Eventho it’s pretty hard to install it alone but all together it’s a great product and worth it to buy in my opinion :)
I recently installed Rimpact inserts before riding the Ard rock enduro epic event. I’d ridden this three times previously but with the Rimpacts fitted I was able to take the tougher sections faster and took time off my previous timings. A great product with a very helpful video for fitting them on the web.
Great product….recommended
I used to suffer regular pinch flats and rim dings so I was advised to try out these inserts. The change has been dramatic. I've been using Rimpact inserts in all my ebikes for a few years now and punctures are pretty much a thing of the past. They do add a fair bit of weight to the wheel but it's worth it for the extra reliability. Highly recommended.
These inserts transformed my wheels. A bit tricky to fit, but once on they ride amazingly. I live in a super rocky area and these inserts have saved my rims on many a trail.
Best of the best
It was a pain to install on a 27mm rim in a 2.4" tire, and when I want to deflate it, the air seems to be stuck between the outer part of the insert and the tire, so the tire is still rock hard but even with my valve wide open, it won't deflate.
The insert won't let the air through.
Installing it was the hardest part. But after several rides, I can confidently say that it was absolutely worth it. A clear recommendation.
The front Rimpact split when my local bike shop were fitting. Rimpact quickly replaced this, which is where I think a company shows whether it is good or not. When something goes wrong, prompt response. The first bike feels good so far.
Thanks
Easy
Top service and communication!
Great site plenty of information
Great products and great service
Website was decent, easy to order. Product is great, just follow the instructions on the website! I left it on a bare rim to stretch out overnight, and found it relatively easy to fit with the tyre. I made one schoolboy error, I didn't have spare sealant on hand when I fitted it, so went to add it the next day via the valve. This can be very tricky to get right! I ended up using a 100ml syringe about half full of sealant, squeeze some in, and then pull back to let some air pressure out, massage the insert a bit, and repeat. If you don't let some air out, it will spray sealant up your curtains (not that I did that of course.... )
good
Great product, good price,fairly easy to put them over the rim. Fills great while riding without feeling extra heavy or bulky. However puting tyre on its a hell of a job. being amatur i have bent my brand new rims... hence 4 starts
Easy to order, free shipping is always appreciated!
I've been running a Rimpact Pro II for approx 6 months and the wheel has been hammered during that time: but for a change I've not had a single pinch flat, ding, burp : nothing! Just more and more miles and smiles :)
So when it came to building up a wheel for my 2nd bike I naturally went for the same again and am very happy.
Fitting takes a bit of a knack: but the first time is hardest - after that it gets easier. Only real downside I can think of : the chances of removing the tyre trailside (to do something like fit a tube) are pretty slim - the tyre is more difficult to unseat than if there was no insert.
Anyway - 5 stars from me! TBH: its hard to believe we used to ride mountain bikes without inserts like this!
