Find your fit

The correct Armor Tube size is the same as the tire size.

The only difference is that you will have to use a slightly smaller tube than normal.


Find your Armor Tube size

The correct Armor Tube size is the same as the tire size.

The only difference is that you will have to use a slightly smaller tube than normal.


1) Find out the size of your tire

Tires usually have dimensions written on them. Take a look on the side of your tire. You need to look for the two numbers with an "x" in the middle. E.g. 27.5 x 2.35 or 700 x 35C

2) Select the correct size of Tannus Armor Tube

Once you have discovered your tire size, consult the table above. The appropriate size of Tannus Armor corresponds exactly to the size of your tire and all tires within the indicated size range. E.g. A 27.5" x 2.60"- 3.00" Armor is suitable for both 27.5" x 2.60" and 27.5" x 3.00" tires as well as tires measuring 27.5" x 2.80"

Side wing cut

Each size of Armor fits a wide range of tires. For some of these tires it is necessary to cut the side wings of the insert slightly so that they do not bend inwards during assembly.

Check if your tire dimensions are in one of the categories indicated in the table. If so, simply cut the ends of the side wings following the guidelines on the insert.

FAQs  Armour Tube

PRODUCT

  • What is Armor?

    Tannus Armor is a polymer-based insert that is positioned between the tire and the inner tube. It offers greater protection against punctures, increases driving comfort and improves grip when cornering.

  • What is it made of?

    Tannus Armor is made from a proprietary material called Aither. The Aither material is a closed micro-cell polymer-based blend that encompasses more than 15 years of R&D.

  • How do they ride on racing bikes?

    They were designed for mountain bikes, Enduro, DH and gravel but are also perfect for city bikes and cycle touring. On racing bikes we recommend Tannus Airless instead.

  • Can I use it with the tubeless system?

    We recommend not using Tannus Armor with a tubeless setup. Using the inner tube eliminates the burp effect, drastically reduces direct punctures and lateral cuts and increases ease of use.

  • Can I use latex with Tannus Armor?

    No, the insert is designed to be used exclusively with an inner tube. Latex, in addition to being detrimental to the insert and its durability, would have no additional use. In fact, by using the traditional inner tube and Armor you prevent pinching, side cuts, the burp effect and many ruined clothes. It is also advisable to clean the inside of the tire to remove any latex residue inside it.

  • Can I ride with a flat/flat tire using Armor?

    One of the advantages of using Tannus Armor is that, in the event of a puncture, you can still go home with a flat tire. In fact, Tannus Armor offers you an extra protective cushion inside the tire that allows you not to damage the rim. The only recommendation if you get a puncture far from home is not to exceed a speed of 10-15 km/h and to avoid excessively rough terrain.

  • Does it compress with use?

    The Aither material has memory but if put under too much pressure it can give way a few millimeters of thickness especially under the tread. The higher the pressure, the more the Armor will crush over time. If you want to keep the Armor as thick and performing as possible, it is better to keep a lower pressure (say under 2 Atm).

  • How do I evaluate the correct size?

    Simple. The size of Tannus Armor corresponds exactly to the size of the tire on which they are applied. Ex. Do you have a 29x2.2? The armor suitable for you is the 29x1.95-2.5.

  • Can I put it on my racing bike?

    It is not recommended. The insert works well at very low pressures and is created specifically for the world of MTB, Enduro and DH.

  • Does he go on the hockless rim?

    Yes, Armor is hockless compatible.

  • What is the best tire to use Tannus Armor?

    The tires that adapt best to the insert are light tires, with little sidewall and that run loose. Tires with a heavy casing are less suitable. The latter would make the wheel heavier and, at times, make assembly more difficult.

ASSEMBLY

  • Can I reuse it?

    Of course, just respect the measurements of the insert with the new tyre.

  • What do I need for assembly?

    The correct inner tube, tire levers and possibly some talcum powder.

  • Advice for assembly?

    The assembly tips are:

  • Do I need to tighten the inner tube valve wheel?

    It would be better to keep the valve as tight as possible or even not put it at all.
