Default Mousse blow out

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..

Nitro Mousse are junk.

I found out that you pretty much have to run bibs mousses in Michelin tires.

I think there was an issue with the first gen of nitro mousse with them shrinking, not sure if there was a recall, but have heard there is a new version

I know tubliss says to use a new tyre, but if your old tyre is still in good condition i would try it anyway, maybe add a bottle of slime in with it to seal any deformities from the rim lock

Not sure what brand of mousse it was and I don't know if I'll get a good seal from the tyre now. We were able to get the tyre back over the rim without using levers. I'll have a better look when I get a chance.

If you were able to get the tyre back on the rim without levers, whoever installed it has broken the bead and that?s what caused the mousse to come out the side.
Seen it before a fair few times.
