Looking forward to the review. Great install vid.

Cool product! Alway good to have options. I really like the Nitro mousse though, been running one in front for 70hrs and it still looks like new

Can't wait to see the review on them. Those look much easier to install, and more serviceable.

It's not bad really.

I've ridden tubliss, HD tubes, and mouse - I prefer rear mouse and front tubliss. The rear tubliss is a very very close second to mouse. Having said that, I would try this in the rear but the front for lightness, and the feel of tubliss can't be beat. And you say you can still get a flat with tubliss, yes, but you can ride with it flat for the entire day and no issues and it doesn't feel flat. You can also just plug it on the trail if you get a flat on that one millionth ride where you get a flat with tubliss, haha.

Three years into one Tubliss set. Ran over a sawed off metal fence post during a race and my tire was ripped open. Finished the lap, and ran two more sets on a fully flat front. As stated, as long as the inner holds you are good. I run Tubliss, but this looks interesting. I like the idea of a mousse because you can gauge the wear. With Tubliss you either hold air or one day you don't.

I wanna try putting a mousse in my EUC

I don’t know whether this is wise but I trust you more because you have a chain wallet and are from CO

seems to be an interesting but expensive product, I hope all is well. why don't you cut the air valve of an old tube and put it on the rim, with the perfect air to hit the tire and great to cover the hole, before tightening the rim lock. Good video 👏👏👏👏👏

I change tires so often that I don’t worry about stuff getting in and if the bead doesn’t seat with the mousse or balls, it’s time to replace or line with a tube for me. I like them firm so they don’t roll. And as far as money, they are only 45 more than a normal mousse. If they last as long as they claim it will make sense.

Don't need a rim lock on the front when using a mousse!!!

For me it’s not that they don’t work it that there is still a potential for a flat. I like to completely remove the possibility if I can. Also, around here (lots of sharp rocks) I have ridden with so many people that get flats with tubliss. But if it works for you that is awesome.

Curious. The reason for the rim lock is to prevent the tire spinning and ripping out the inner tube valve. No inner tube...why have the rim locks?

@highlandcycles

To keep the wheel from spinning in the tire. When mousses get soft (good traction) the wheel can spin and you don’t go forward or stop (depending on front or rear)
