I am fairly new to motorcycles. I did a tubeless change on my sportbike a couple of years ago and was happy with how smooth it went. I got a dirtbike a few weeks ago and though tubes would be easier, but they were much more difficult with trying to not pinch a tube while installing.

You can also use lead sinkers that are used for fishing as spoke weights. The big ones with a hole in them. Cut a slot and crimp them onto the spokes. Loved this video buddy.

it was a 110 mousse specially sized for the trackmaster based on their chart , but it didn't fit. if you run a 110 mousse in to a 120 tire it will rub against the tire and will be destroyed but will give ou good traction for a while

For wheel weights, I've had good luck using lead fishing sinkers. You could have used a couple of 4oz sinkers. I hack saw half way into the sinker, spread it open then crimp in on around the spoke.

Many people told me about the lead weights but I couldn't find them and they cost almost as much as getting the actual weights for the wheels that you could take off and put on easily with us and so because of that I never really went that way but the metal things that I put on a spoke for now they seem to be working just fine and in the future I'm just going to get my hands on the kit that is removable and I think I'll be a lot happier that way but if you live in a let deposit and you have plenty of love and slid it laying in your backyard might as well

Unique perspective on the mousse. I bet this video will evangelize countless people to use mousse. It’s all about peace of mind. I see many people with tubliss yet they don’t know how to take care of a punctured tubeless in the field. When you’re finally done with the mousse, it’d be interesting to cut a cross-section out and see what condition the cells inside are in.

@vegasromaniac

Would be better off just using tyre levers rather then c clamps. The clamp is stopping your tyre going down into the drop centre of the wheel. Your trying to force the reinforced bead over the rim.

Wow. To see a mousse chewed up the way it was and then putting it back into a larger tire? I'm really surprised at the stuff you can get away with! Doesn't the tire feel mushy and squishey during cornering? That can't be good for the handling of the bike. I'm always afraid of prying dents out of the rim like that in case it could crack. All that stuff just makes me nervous.
