It’s been bounced off nearly every rock and tree stump on my local trails.
Two years ago a group of local MTB bike riders and mechanics, frustrated
with the poor quality of tubeless inserts in the market, approached a local engineering firm (us) with a bold idea.
Their idea was to create a robust tyre insert which protects the wheel and rim from damage without altering the ride performance. Immediately intrigued by the challenge our design team set about developing a product which allows sealant to flow freely, run lower PSI’s without increasing punctures and protecting the rims from impact strikes.
After a few failed attempts, some regrettable language and lots of testing – the Rockstop Rim Protector was born.
