That's the progression most woods riders go through. My whole ride group runs mousse. It's hard to find any fast woods guys in this area who run anything else. The rim protection is critical also, very rocky here and i'm constantly bending front rims without a mousse.
I was once a 98 lb skinny weakling on tubed tires. Then I invested in the tubeliss system and now I'm a 98 lb weakling running mad low air pressures...
Other tips: 1) retighten often the rim locks, they do get loose by working their way in the tire rubber 2) quality tubes. For example I found out that 2mm michelin are not only easier to fix and lighter but also stronger than most 4 mm UHD 3) Pinching in the rear is typical for high speed rally/baja where one would have the reflex and time to unload the front but the rear hits the edge full speed 4) I have used in Morocco with some success the small tyre puncture pressure cans - those vicious acacia thorns!
Ive had lucciolis in my husky 500 daily rider for about a year now. I get the weight downside and they were a struggle for even a pro shop with a pneumatic mousse machine to install, not to mention they were about 150g out of balance. A while back I hit something very sharp at 110kmh on the hume highway - sharp enough it put a 40mm gash through a d606 rear and went all the way through the wires . The luccioli pushed it out and there wasnt even a mark on the tube. I didnt even notice it had happened until a day and 100kms later. After the rear effectively saved me from a bad crash i put one in the front too. For a daily dual sport rider theyre an excellent option . When they make mousses that can do 110 without burning up ill buy those but for now i like them very much.
hey guys i have been running the lucioli tubes for around 3 years now i swear by them i am currently a round 350 hours x 4 bikes on the one tube i ride hard & rocky terrain at 4 psi the weight is not a problem but you do need to go up in pressure 10 psi on faster dirt roads
Replace your tubes early. I use cheaper tubes replace them every time i change the tyre. Only flat I've had in 300 hours of all different types of riding was a nail in the tyre. I run between 8 and 12 psi.
Pinch flatted my rear on the klr a year ago.. was off trail, unprepared.. Used a mix of food stuff I had as "slime", and I'm still going fine and now the tire is done. May have to market this recipe! 😂
Hi there, I've tried the tubliss system it was good but still had to plug a few holes, bit of phaffing around to fit. Tried mousses they were awesome but a pain to relube after 4 or 5 rides even sooner after a lot water crossings on a ride, they also had a dead feeling especially when they wear out. I'm now using the Lucioli tubes front and rear they're awesome, pretty easy to fit l Iube the tube with electrical grease fit it inside the tyre then fit the tyre, don't have to worry about pinching the tube when using tyre leavers. I did notice the weight on my first ride (gyroscopic effect) didn't notice after that first ride, I have had two pinch flats in two years of use (8psi) but I didn't notice I had a flat until checking bike before the next ride. Price is similar between all 3 give or take 50 bucks, everything is exspensive here in New Zealand. Cheers Richard
When installed a new tube. Cut a strip out of the center of old tub and discard. Take the remaining and line the inside of the tire. Double thick tube. A trick I learned in Asia.
I had this topic on the list for a while, David. But the guy who runs it lives a fair way from me and the setup lasts so long it could take ages before he had to make a new set.
I often punctured my tube while mounting the tire with the spoon because im not good in that but onestly i found the baja no pinch tool it is on the expensive side and shipping to germany cost me the same as the tool him self but i love it 😎
Tubliss in the rear and light tube in the front with no rimlock on my EXC150 and light tubes with rear rimlock on my 701and hope to catch them with pressure monitoring before they get destroyed and patch them with wheels still on the bike. TPU tubes like the Varg and mountain bikes have might be good for some types of riding.
Very interesting. I’ve been resisting mousses as they don’t seem a good fit with dual sport, but I’m fed up with party-spoiling punctures. I could do a tube swap on the road, but the weight of stuff to carry around is discouraging. I’m intrigued and will look into slimes, as they seem painless to take around and no-fuss to use…
Since I started using Tubliss + Stan's sealant about 6 years ago, I've never had a flat, except one screw that stuck in the tire and eventually got the inner tube as well. Actually I get multiple punctures from cactus needles on most rides, but with the sealant you never even notice until later you look at the tire and see wet spots from the sealant. Before using sealant, Tubliss was kind of frustrating, getting it to seal.
A friend mentioned using mousse lube on the inner tube to prevent pinch flats. Maybe a combination of slime in the tube, and mousse lube outside the tube is the ticket?
Interesting idea. I'd be a bit concerned about it lubing the bead enough to let the knobby slip in the rim? We all have rim locks but the rubber is also held by those grooves on the inner rim. 🤔
I use a lot more air pressure than that 20-25psi I'd rather have less traction and ride a little slower, but not have to stop for an hour to remove the wheel and fix a pinch flat whenever I ride in rocky terrain.
@@OtisFlint it almost never rains here, and there aren't very may "enduro" style trails anywhere near me. It's mostly open desert, fire trails, with some really technical trails for rock crawling 4x4s, and I ride alone, so I'm not going to risk getting stuck without any help on those types of trails :/
I'm going to give tube-less (not tubliss) a go. Fit air tight rim tape + valve stem + some slime in the tyre. Works well on MTBs. Dynaplugs are by far the best way to plug a tubeless tyre. I use them on MTB and 4X4 and will carry them on the dirt bike too.
@@OtisFlint Nice comment mate. Did you put any thought into it? I don't foresee any problems as long as I stay above 10 psi.. I'll let you know how it goes.
I thought Dynaplugs were great until I watched FortNines video on different types of plugs. Nothing comes close to bacon strips. Watch the video and you'll see why.
Dunlop 606's.. Ran over 100klms home on hard dirt tracks no problems with zero air...as the side walls are that stiff....had a puncture. They can be harder to fit due to this stiffness but when your hrs from home and remote..its worth it..that's my 2 cents worth...and yes I do have rim locks. WARNING.. the green slime you buy at sca will eat your steel and aluminium rims..used on my tubeless quad bike tyres and the rims are now completely rooted due to years of using this stuff...good short term but get the puncture fixed properly as soon as you can and wash that shit out
Dalle mie parti ci sono terreni misti, tra gradini di roccia da prendere a basse velocità, a sentieri in terra, e sassi smossi. Solitamente da noi montano mousse, l’avevo sulla mia prima moto e forse dovuto al fatto che era molto morbida è durata pochissimo, si è tagliata e manco proteggeva i cerchioni. Ora sulla seconda moto essendo passato dal 300 al 125, ho montato tubliss per tenere la moto leggera, non ho avuto per ora problemi. Unica pecca bisogna montare gomme con spalle rigide. Sono stato fermo per un po’e le ho usate senza provare la pressione, mi sono accorto che al ritorno ero a 1atm nei tubliss dovrebbe essere a 7atm! Non ho forato, era un percorso abbastanza veloce e non ho pizzicato però dimostra che resiste bene a velocità pure a bassa pressione! La Lucioli dovrebbe provarla un mio amico, non l’ho considerata per il forte peso. P.S. All’’anteriore ho la camera d’aria a 1atm non ho riscontrato problemi nei miei percorsi. Il commerciante fa che sono il primo al nord Italia che montava tubliss che vendeva prettamente al sud, non so per quale motivo! Altra cosa le mousse non sono omologate sulla strada, i tubliss non so, ma con una pompetta puoi gonfiare la gomma e tenerla a pressione corretta per la strada quindi top!
Never use a nut on your valve (or wind up to the u/s of cap) to avoid valve creep/rip and use mousse lube on tubes when fitting - no more pinch flats. Used to use red rubber grease, but too messy.
For hard enduro training I use Tubliss and half of mousse over it. Tried tubes, mousses, Tubliss only, Traxy, but this is the best. Also pros use it. I just cut with knife a bit less than half of inner ring of used mousse away and I make a deep groove in it where the Tubliss can sit in when I set the pressure really low (like 0.2 bar). It is not hard to do, there are also videos on youtube. Had zero flats since (mousse also cushions the hits) and I ride mostly around 0.3 bar. In case of flat, you can ride on on half of the mousse until you fix it with injection. Max grip, adjustable pressure, low cost (Tubliss after 300 hrs like new).
When my tubliss high pressure valve failed, I was initially going to bite the bullet an go the mousse route. Although at $300 CAD, and a HD tube being $30, it wasnt economical to be 10x the price, especially knowing id splurge and buy myself a front set too. Until they make mousse's available to the avg enduro rider, im gonna stick with my tubes.
Did the high pressure tube fail recently? Over the years our guys have had zero issues but two of us have had air leaks in the last month.... just wondering if there was a drop in quality.
It seems that it might help to not follow that clown wearing the bright yellow helmet 😁 He's clearly got no idea! He also runs Tubliss and loves the system 👍
