For extreme enduro, some riders put a softer mousse into a bigger tire to have a softer overall feel. This is OK if you know what you are doing, however, it can damage your rim or allow mud and dirt into your tire which will in turn damage your mousse. Going by the manufacturer’s recommendation is another good way to get good performance if you aren't sure what you are looking for. First things first: what exactly is a bib mousse? Commonly referred to as “mousse insert” or simply “mousse”, it’s a foam tire insert that works in place of a regular inner tube. Essentially, it’s a solid foam ring that holds a tire shape as well as – and often, better – than an air tube. Rabaconda’s 3-Minute Tire Changer allows riders with zero mechanical skills to change bib mousses fast, efficiently, and with minimal effort. Favored by motocross, enduro, and rally racers as well as everyday riders and weekend warriors, the 3-Minute Tire Changer is all you need for your garage. It has three solid standing points and a powerful bead breaker which eliminates all the huffing and puffing, and the tool is incredibly easy to master and use even if you’re new to changing tires with bib mousses.

Despite their resilience against flat tires and great grip, there are a few minor cons of using bib mousses: first, they’re are about a pound heavier than most heavy-duty air tubes. Second, mousse inserts are more expensive than regular tubes, and can be a bit of a pain to install – unless, that is, you have the right bib mousse-changing tools. Finally, bib mousses can deteriorate if you run them on the tarmac at high speeds. On the other hand, as a result of the mousse's solid structure, the only way to adjust the feel is by selecting a softer mousse. Unlike a regular air tube, where you can change the PSI for different riding environments, a bib mousse retains one feel all of the time (until it starts to deteriorate). Use multiple tire irons to start pushing the top bead of the tire into the rim. It is important to take small steps with the irons so that the tire stretches over the rim relatively easily. X-Grip Mousse Lube Not onlyhelps with the fitting of the mousse but also keeps the temperature of the mousse lower when riding, preventing drying and deterioration and therefore improving the expected life span of the mousse. We recommend lubricating the mousse properly with X-GRIP mousse-gel to minimize friction with the tyre.lntroduced in 2007 Pro Clean Mousse Lube has been used extensively by MX and Enduro riders in events such as the Paris-Dakar where temperatures can reach in excess of 43 degrees Celsius and also by the top UK GP Motocross and Enduro teams with excellent results.

It is hard to say exactly how long a bib mousse will last because it is greatly dependent on the rider, the riding conditions, and the maintenance of the mousse. In extreme cases it can go from days to 100+ hours.

To change a bib mousse, it’s best to use the right tools for the job. Rabaconda 3-Minute Tire Changer was designed specifically for this purpose: changing bib mousses in dirt bike tires.

For regular enduro riding, your mousse size should be matched exactly to your tire size – for example, a 120 mousse will work best in a 120 tire. Although mousses can outlast tires, they do require maintenance to prevent deterioration and stretching. It’s best to always clean your mousse after some period of riding so that the dirt and mud cannot deteriorate it. We know this can be a bit of a pain, but it’s especially important after muddy rides or before an extended period of time when you will not be riding. Cleaning your mousses will ensure that they’re not broken down by anything but pure dirt bike riding. Read on to learn all there is about bib mousse inserts, when to use them, and how to properly install and look after them. Pro Clean Mousse Lube is a specially developed gel with super low friction characteristics. This super low friction not only aids the fitting of the mousse but also keeps the temperature of the mousse lower when in use, preventing rapid drying and deterioration and therefore improving the life span of the mousse.
