Installation tip: I also used some footpowder\talcum in the tire and then in the liner, which helped with ease of installation. It allowed the liner and tube to go in smooth and allow for easy adjustments. The first tire was the hardest as you learn the technique. So far, my wife and love them, especially since we live out here in So Calif, home the "goathead" thorn! 🙂

Used your link to order and saved $25 bucks, thanks!

[@EbikeEscape]

Awesome, glad I could help!

[@jgentry7201]

Thanks for the review and install vids. I just changed my rear tube a few weeks ago, Rad City ST, too bad I didn't know about these then. Best

[@EbikeEscape]

Always can upgrade down the road! Plus it never hurts to have an extra tube around if you have other bikes.

[@kenneth7197]

I just installed a set and yes, putting the inner tube valve through the rim was a pain in the ass. You have to make sure that the rubber liner that protects the inner tube from the spokes has the valve stem opening lined up with the valve stem opening on the rim.

[@EbikeEscape]

Glad I wasn't the only one 😀

Awesome! congrats on the 3K sub!

[@FrugalBC]

The slow-mo tube toss made this all worth it! haha Looks like a useful product - I'm particularly interested in the airless tires.

[@aprilgeneric8027]

5:37 wuss. you could take that gator with that fat tire bike easily. bike might get some scratches and dents or bends, but that just adds character, making memories and truly epic cycling stories.

[@EbikeEscape]

Ha!

[@vajcai]

I was sold by this KZbin video, purchase 2 26” Tannus Armor, I spent 2 hours trying to install and have no luck, I trimmed it and made it smaller no luck, wasted over $100 for nothing

[@scotiez]

I just ordered the Tannus Armour tire liners for my RadRover 6 Plus. I was wondering what tire pressure do you run in your fat tire ebikes? On the Tannus website it says Ebikes can run at normal tire pressure but i hear a lot of people running less air pressure. Also how is the ride? Is it smooth or is it a harsh and stiff ride? Have you ever taken the tire apart to see if the Tannus liner has flattened out in your bike? And Do you still use the Tannus Armour since this video you put out is over a year old. Sorry for so many questions. Your video seems more professional then a lot of other video review that i have watched.

[@tharpeaddy]

Thanks for respecting Mother Nature Rae these days Personally I probably would have been more terrified than various but hey thanks for the video!!

[@Saved-by-Zero]

My tannis liner did not fit into the 26 inch tire. I had to cut it to fit tight and which it had a four inch gap. (It just simply was too small for the tire)

[@hisdesciples]

Tannus + Flatout = perfect ?

[@woodsculptor675]

Great vid! That ole gator just wanted to test the effectiveness of the Tannus Liners! Haha!!!

[@EbikeEscape]

Right?! Of course it's only when I wanted to film that he showed up.

[@christianmalone3495]

I have a Lectric XPremium which has 20"X4" Chaoyang tires, and I still have the slime currently, but when it comes time to replace that, does Tannus or someone else have a good solution? I would sacrifice all kinds of comfort to know I had the most dependable, resilient tire setup possible.

[@josephe9487]

I didn't see this video until after trying to install the tube into the tannus.. I was wondering why it was Crunched up a bit in the tube not fully expanding. I didn't have this problem with my 26 inch tires on my other bike when using tannus amor. If I have 20x3 tires then What size tube should I op down to for it to fit inside the 20x3 tannus armor?

[@rustynutz7158]

Bolton E-Bikes designed and sell the "socket" for removing that nut you stripped. He does some good reviews too.

[@EbikeEscape]

Very familiar with Bolton Ebikes (I've interviewed him for my channel) but his tool is different than the torque arm bolt I stripped.

[@errolyeaman7587]

Hello. Thanks for the informative video. I was on the Tannus website and noticed that for the 20x4 inch tires, there are two liner sizes available: one for tires from 3.0 to 4.0 inches and the other for tires from 4.0 to 4.8 inches. Which would be recommended for a 2019 Radmini which has 20x4 inch tires since it seems that both of the inserts have the 4.0 value in their specifications. Thanks for any help you are able to give.

[@EbikeEscape]

I'd shoot Tannus a message and ask what the recommendation would be. But from my perspective, do you ever plan to go smaller on the tires? If so then you might want the smaller liners.

[@errolyeaman7587]

@@EbikeEscape Thanks for your response. I will send them the same question that I posed to you. Best regards.

[@maidintime9511]

Cant wait to have them on my radwagon 4 not looking forward to the install though.

[@EbikeEscape]

It won't be so bad - the fat tires will make it easier than my RadWagon. Good luck!

[@DJaquithFL]

Best way to avoid getting a hole in your tube is to ride on the sidewalks... All of my problems with nails are when I'm in the "bike debris" lane or the side of the road that's never cleaned properly. Unfortunately a nail will go right through any of these liners.

[@MarkTruskolaski-bw4vf]

Am I able to get one to fit on an 10 inch electric scooter tire I think it’s 3 inches wide

[@scottrogers8293]

So there will be another size coming out so you don't have to decide between 20x3.0-4.0 and 20x4.0-4.8? You were one of the channels that helped me decide and I ordered a Ariel X-Class 52V I plan to ride to work. Thanks.

[@EbikeEscape]

Glad to hear Scott - I believe they just added them to the website knowing that the product is on the way. I can see if I can get an answer for you on which liners are easier to install for 4 inch tires.

[@scottrogers8293]

@@EbikeEscape Thanks. I was thinking they already sold out of those liner sizes. I will probably go with the 4.0-4.8 size. Seems like there is more tire selection in the 4" and 4 1/4" range.

[@JohnnieV]

What about bikes getting shipped with these already installed? Seems like a no brainer to me.

[@jamespyers7589]

I would like to install smooth street tires on my Rad Rover 6 +. Any suggestions?

[@EricTobiasPhotography]

Great video! are you still able to run the tires at the same tire pressure with these liners? I'm curious if they soften the tire if there will be more resistance and lower battery mileage? Thanks for any input you might have. Oh, and what tire pressure are you using?

[@RideTannus]

We recommend starting with 10psi less and adjusting from there.

[@EricTobiasPhotography]

@@RideTannus what psi are you using on the 26x4 tire with the liners installed?

[@EbikeEscape]

Thanks Eric, I'll let the experts respond but great question.

[@Brandon_Neil]

How did your tire psi preference change after you installed the liners? One main reason besides the obvious protection for me is the ability to run lower pressures ( most noteably on fat tires ) while also haveing more cushion for a smoother ride. Between my cheap front suspension, suspension seatpost and fat tires at low pressure my bike feel so comfy.

[@EbikeEscape]

More testing needed but the liners seem to add some stiffness. So if you like your tires with a super low air pressure then this might change just how low you can go.

[@myscreen2urs]

When you say you have to go a size down for the tubes... Is there a chart somewhere? I've been installing these in 2.20" tires with 1.95" tubes and it turns into a wrestling match everytime.

[@EbikeEscape]

Yes. Go to this page: tannusamerica.com/products/tannus-armour?variant=31871966216303 And click “Size Chart” under the tire size selector. Tube sizes for the specific Armour sizes are listed there. -JT

[@RABWOODSHOPSTUDIO]

Their instructions video show that you have to cut pieces of the tube protector, did you have to do that on yours?

[@EbikeEscape]

Nope, if you check out our blog post you can see what size liners require trimming to fit: ebikeescape.com/tannus-armour-tire-liner-review-ebikes/

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

wait how much can you squeeze the sides of the liner. I've got a brake clearance issue where I'd need to deflate my tires abit to get the whole tire past the rimbrakes.. 🤔 this could be an issue if I can't press the liner in past the brakes.

[@EbikeEscape]

There is typically a way to "disengage" the rim brake and give you clearance for removal. But without air the liner can be moved around easily, so they may still work. -JT

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

@@EbikeEscape I've got one of those one piece rimbrakes, not the old school ones. There is a ' , ' thing i can flip around, but it gives like 2mm more clearance hahaa Thanks for the info, might get myself a set of the liners for my gravel bike.

[@jorelb.acosta2121]

I have installed the armour on my radrunner but now I can't remove the tire it's just way too tight in there idk what to do

[@EbikeEscape]

That's odd. Did you try contacting Tannus? Are you using tire levers?

[@jorelb.acosta2121]

@@EbikeEscape Yes i was trying tire levers but I found a technique that will remove very tight tires. I finally removed my tight tires

[@Joop-Adrie]

Great product to bet they shrink so much after a while. They not 12 mm bigger, 6 mm. I got four of them😢

[@EdmanThunder]

Sooooo thats what they are called (goathead weed)... Out in the Okanagan we just call them something too inappropriate to mention online. Also I've been wondering if you can add airless tires to these tannus tires... Would that even work?

[@EbikeEscape]

I don't think that would be possible since the airless tires are solid. They are also offered in limited sizes.

[@colindollard2812]

have you got a set of tannus armour bundle with innertubes size 26x4.0 as can't find any?

You will need to size down on the tube when using Tannus liners. Tannus has a chart on their site I believe.

Do Tannus Armour Tire Liners got 20 x4 Fat bike Tires liners?

[@richardwebb3013]

You don't think the outter rotational mass decreases range, and a faster depletion of the battery life?

[@johnf3326]

What you don't mention are the 'maintenance' suggestions that because the foam compresses, you should deflate the tyres when not used (between rides?!) even remove them and have a steamy shower with them! WTF! 😲

[@EbikeEscape]

I did forget to mention that but I'm not sure how important it is to do these steps. I would imagine most people don't do this since it is time consuming to remove them.

Have you ever looked at the Tannus after a few months or more of using it? I just saw a video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/epfbZ4iYrsicnK8) from another KZbin channel that indicates the Tannus can squish and loose its protection. It would be nice if you did a follow up video where you removed and checked the Tannus on a bike you have been using for a few months to see if it has kept its original shape or has become very thin.
