Huck Norris

Huck Norriksen tehtäbä on tuhota pelko renkaiden ja vanteiden vahingoista. Tavoitteena on saada maastopyöräilijät pitämään mielessä maastopyöräilyn hauskuus ja siirtämään taka-alalle tekniset ongelmat vanteiden ja renkaiden kanssa. Voit ajaa rauhassa ilman, että pelko hiipii takaraivossa uusien hiilikuituvanteiden kanssa rytkytellessä. Siitä kiittäkäämme siis Huck Norrista!

Oikean koon määritteleminen

Oikea koko on kriittinen, jotta Huck Norris pystyy suojaamaan vannettasi parhaalla mahdollisella tavalla. Valitse alla olevan taulukon mukaan oikea rengasinsertti. Renkaan halkaisijalla ei ole merkitystä, sillä rengasinsertti katkaistaan oikeaan pituuteen. Merkittävät tekijät ovat vanteen sisä- ja renkaan halkaisijat.

DH ja E-Bike versiot (vain single versiot)

DH ja E-Bike versioiden materiaalitiheys on tuplattu normaalista insertistä. Tämä antaa kovassa ajossa vielä enemmän suojaa vanteelle sekä renkaalle. Painoero normaalin ja vahvemman version välillä on noin 35g.

Kuinka Huck Norris toimii

Huck Norris on valmistettu juuri tätä tarkoitusta varten suunnitellusta ja kehitetystä materiaalista. Huck Norriksen materiaalitiiveys on kolme kertaa vaimentavampi kuin mikään vastaava jota löydät rautakaupoista.

Kaikki Huck Norris tuotteet ovat valmistettu ja suunniteltu Suomessa.

FAQ

Ok, did you guys just make it out of camping mattress?
No, not this version. During past 4 years we have made prototypes from just about all the things that are light and can absorb impacts energy well. Fortunately one of us has material scientist as a neighbour, and through him we got to develop material that is optimised to dampen impacts in force just below what light sidewall protected (read: Exo, Snakeskin, etc.) tyres can survive. So that Huck Norris will absorb as much energy from the impact as it can, and then cells in Huck Norris will break if the impact is hard enough, almost always still saving the tyre and rim. If it would be any harder material you could puncture your tyre before breaking the cells of Huck Norris.
We are looking into making it in more lively colour than this Shady Grey, so that people can start asking whether we made it out of kids beach toys.

WHY?
It’s really simple, if you want more protection from pinch flats in your tubeless setup, you “can” add material to sidewalls of the tyre, but that stiffens the casing and results significantly more rolling resistance. We added the material inside the tyre, so that it has no impact on rolling resistance, and material is exactly where it needs to be to dampen hard impacts to the tyre, making it light, simple and efficient.
We are all racing MTB’s ourselves. We have tried all current commercial solutions available and ghetto tubeless. We were not happy, and this is the best we could come up with. Ghetto tubeless works, but is major pain to install. Other commercial solutions are over engineered, heavy, expensive and require rim modifications or weaken the rim too much.

Will it soak in the sealant?
The material will take 2% of the sealant into itself. In other words; No.
Over time, when cells inside Huck Norris break from hard impacts it takes little bit more sealant, but nothing significant.

Is it directional?
The simple answer is no, fit it what ever direction you want.

How does tire width influence the correct size?
If you run something like 21-24mm rim, you are ok with 2.5” size tyre for the size S, but if you are on the 25mm rim, and on 2.5” tyre, you are risking that Huck Norris won’t be in the right place during impact for the size S and you should choose size M instead. If you are between sizes and in doubt use the bigger size.

What its lifespan?
If you are a regular trail rider you should get a riding season out of your Huck Norris. If you are a rider that likes very rough terrain and races hard you might get a shorter lifespan from your Huck Norris, if this is the case then check for excessive wear and replace if needed.

My Huck Norris makes noise?
Your Huck Norris can move around slightly in the tyre hence the noise. If the noise bothers you, you can shorten the Huck Norris by 2cm’s (about 3/4 inch) so that it fits snuggly against the rim. Shortening the Huck Norris may make it harder to install the tyre.
