Here in Brazil the Lucioli is pretty much our best and only option cost/performance wise for the rear. Usually I lube it really well with tire soap when assembling, I've changed countless tires this way and I´ve yet to change a tube, so I don´t really know how long they´re able to last this way. The ability to change pressures anyway you want is a big plus.
Should check out the tube saddle. It’s a foam liner that protects from pinch flats. That’s what I use in the front with a standard HD tube. Lightweight and have yet to get a flat in 3 years of running it almost every weekend.
Tubliss is a possible alternative and can easily be plugged with cheap plug kit whilst on trail. But if your running soft compound tyre it's easy to slice/split the tire wall and game over, which happens regularly on training days we run.
@@lukekelly5115 it depends on the pressure you use. I use tubliss on an mx track at 12 psi and trails at 10, hard technical stuff at 6. I never destroyed my tire.
What’ a ridiculous price, I was interested but I’ll stick to double tubing with 4mm tubes, I run down to 4psi and havnt had any issues and only cost 15£
This is all new tech for me. I had to goog Michelin Mousse & Tubliss to find out what they are. All three if these have their pros & cons, but I'm too cheap to pay the prices any of these go for. Maybe I'm lucky, or don't ride too hard, but I haven't gotten a flat in many years.
Depends what your riding and how important grip is to you I suppose. If your looking to high speed then no these are not ideal. If you want maximum tyre squish and grip then happy days. Extreme Enduro is the keys words here
@@user-oh1vo5kx4b you can't use normal glue on patches u need a vulcanising heat press machine to melt new rubber into tube. We are awaiting delivery of machine.
Thanks for the comment nvcmcrider8475 🤙. Lucioli are the same price as michelin bib mousse, but you need to weigh up the differences.... Mousses take time to run in and have a limited life, Lucioli are tested to over 300 hours and are ready to go out of the box.. Mousses are not dot approved, Lucioli are road legal... Mousses are for specific tyres sizes so you need different mousses for different tyres, lucioli will work in all enduro tyre sizes.. When a mousses is split or damaged there dead, lucioli can be repaired.
@@nvmcrider8475 once you lucioli you won't go back. For racing I had medium and soft mousses for both 120&140 rear and 90/90&90/100 front. That's 8 different mousses for different tyres. Best part of £1000 in mousses. Softs don't last long especially if your drilling to get the right feel. Now I just have lucioli that I can adjust pressure to suit (even out on the trail with small MTB pump) Easy 👌
A MX tyre is measured across the knobs, but an enduro tyre is measured across the carcass, so it is possible for a 120 to be similar size to a 140 but only if they are different types of tyre.
