Mousse Balls Tips and Tricks 

Hello Porkchop, You should always do whatever gets you out in the woods for throttle therapy.

Glad it was helpful!

Hello Sir: If mousse balls or regular mousses fail or reduce size in 16 hours, the problem was created during installation. Heat is the killer of mousse products. Incorrect sizing, incorrect lubricant or not enough lubricant are the common problems. Your current set-up is extremely heavy which creates a major downgrade in handling.

@@slaverace1 Maybe. I used a lot of lube. Tube saddles are very light and the heavy duty tube is much lighter than mousse.

The Tube Saddle website no longer works. Are they still in business?

Hello: Removing balls to make it softer does not make sense to me so I chose to drill them.

​@slaverace1 That's hard to grasp... Think of em as springs.. 20 springs per tire = 12psi. 18 springs = 11psi. That's the jist My rears I've been running for a year. 1 tire a month. Had to add my last extra moose.. so I'm +3. From where I started. Fronts got small pretty fast comparatively.. they lasted about 6 months before shrinking too much. Hope ya like em.

Ha!

Strange that most people like air in the front. My experience so far is that I kind of like the mousse feel more on the front than air.

Agreed I went back and forth in the front . Nitro bib absorbs the chatter and sharp hits better. Softish set up for me better grip everywhere and still better rim protection to plough into rocks Ideally I’d like a slightly expandable mousse with a small tube in the middle. As it shrinks add more air . Or air up n down for conditions

Here in Colorado we get "Pinch Flats" on the front tire if we try to ride too fast on the trails. All you need to do is hit a rock a little too fast and pop lol!!
