Mousse blow out

[Cox76y]

Just wondering if anyone has had a mousse fail on them. I was on my 3rd ride with a mousse over the weekend when the mousse tore in half and fell out of the tyre. I was very surprised as I thought I would get a lot more use out of it.

No nothing like that with mouses.

The only problem I have had is with a mouse that had shrunk on the front and the front end would fall away on certain corners.

The mouse was well used and old.

I've been seeing that happen a lot lately.

I haven't had any issues, yet.

was your third ride close to your first or long periods between rides? I know mousses need to be lubed regularly (every 6 month or so) and also don't like high speeds (remember the first dakar in South america?)

The bike should also be stored on a stand so the mousse doesn't develop a flat spot

all reasons to use tubliss ;-)

Probably about 5 months since I got it installed. The bike had been up on a stand for some of that time. Think I'll go back to tubeliss now. Pity about my golden tyre. I might try to throw a tube in it..

What brand? I have had bad luck with the Nitromousse brand.
