Are Mousse Balls Good For Hard Enduro | Carapaks Extreme Mousse | Tusk Talon Tire | What is Best?

[@genxgamerdad141]

I just got back into dirt bike riding since my youngest son got the dirt bike bug. He got a flat on our second major ride, saw one of your first videos on mousse balls and installed them on both our bikes. Couldn't be happier. We ride easy single/double track with some moderate riding here and there. 40-60 miles each trip. So far I love them. I accidently put his rear tire on backwards and need to switch it around, I'll get to see how they've held up over 100 miles or so.

[@highlandcycles]

Awesome

[@daddister7471]

Thanks for addressing this, Morgan! I was considering trying a front mousse a few weeks ago and read on their website that the Mousse Balls could be spaced apart to provide a softer feel. My first thought was, "what keeps them from shifting around?" Turns out it's a valid concern. Go me! 😁

[@ogasi1798]

from England, all the good vibes brother

[@d.brayman3165]

Good luck with the race this weekend. We'll be racing in Potter, NE this weekend. Riding the Wyoming BDR-X Tomorrow morning. Great video, Morgan.

[@johnlastname2895]

Ive been running tubliss for 5 years now, couldn't be happier. I love being able to adjust psi for the conditions im riding.

[@highlandcycles]

Stay tuned for some new things coming from those guys

[@johnlastname2895]

​@@highlandcyclesYou have my attention 😃

[@richardhartley1705]

I have had same thoughts over mousse balls never ever had any problems with a mousse fast or slow👍

[@200xcBruce]

I took my regular mousse out and added a wedge today and was so surprised at how the cross section of the wedge was easily 2 inches wider than my well used mousse.

[@highlandcycles]

Yeah, They shrink

[@donaldblank8873]

Make a sweat in a short piece of PVC maybe half inch, And slide the tail of the tube into it, roll it forward

[@jplayzgamez3215]

i run the tusk recons they are really good to for the price

[@MH-md6tb]

I totally agree about the moose balls. I just installed them and used the recommended number to achieve soft feel but it left me with a large void that had me clunking down the road. Had to add one more and now it seems pretty good

[@highlandcycles]

Yeah, they feel great anyway. The consistency of the foam makes them grip well

[@SCakey]

I really like the non-tire specific sizing for mousse balls. Like I've got a set in a 140/80 tire but that's just because that size came on the bike and wanted to use it. Finish this tire and use same mousse balls in new smaller one.

[@highlandcycles]

Yep, they are really cool.

[@getitgaryy9847]

rock on man!!

[@BradBrother]

So, why not take a regular mousse and just take a butcher knife to it? I might try that myself! Thank you for posting this info

[@highlandcycles]

I have done that and it works too.

[@shereemitch]

oh and run your 13 psi nitro moose in your duel sport for awhile (to be determined per you) to soften it, then run a soften 13psi drilled or not drilled in you 2 stroke hard endure bike. and you get double doudy out of it, I got that from Jimmy Lewis.

[@enduro_j]

Have you ever tested the lucioli inner tube? For hard enduro, I like it. Super tough but it is a little heavy.

[@highlandcycles]

Yes. It works but I don’t like how they feel going fast

[@christoforospilitsis541]

Where do I get a camo green bib like that Dude?

[@highlandcycles]

Wlfenduro.com

[@caseycharity]

It might work to have them spaced out if they had spacers that kept them in place. 🤷‍♂️

[@highlandcycles]

Yep

[@mikecox135]

Some guys on tires think that the dirt is the same where they ride as every place in the world, that tire might suck in my area of PNW, but 4 hours away it might be the cats meow.

[@highlandcycles]

Exactly

[@mikeburnett6222]

Yes Morrton, it's me again.😀 First I like the Talon too. Second with the "21" balls in that tire, what do you estimate the psi rating to be? Third, when you run the 110/100-18, how many balls do put in that tire, for what psi set up?

[@highlandcycles]

First my name isn’t Morton

[@TheFoxyt2]

Why did you put a wrench between chain and sprocket?

[@highlandcycles]

To help hold the wheel forward against the adjusters while I tighten the axle nut

[@ronhartle3268]

What is your opinion on best tire for "back east" conditions? Best value and then best of best no price or wear concerns.

[@highlandcycles]

No idea. I’ve never ridden there. Maybe someone will comment

[@billsharko3007]

How long would Mousse Balls last for easy trail riding?

[@highlandcycles]

A very long time. Mine are holding up super well. I’m guessing over 100hrs

[@stevenstanton5034]

What's your favorite front set up?

[@highlandcycles]

Bridgestone X31 with mousse balls. Packed pretty tight b

[@fmtnic]

Where I live we have "Otom" mousse from China that retail for $60. They feel the same as Nitromousse standard mousse and last just as long. The foam is a bit different but they work great. Do any of you ever see these in the states?

[@highlandcycles]

No. I’ve never seen them.

[@fmtnic]

The first mousse I ever used was called DuraMousse from Australia and it was the same as mousse balls. 5 or 6 inch segments. They were a pain to get out when changing tires but worked fine. They actually had different diameters to match tire sizes though. The fact that mousse balls only makes one size should equate to a lower price point. It's a piece of foam for f@#$ sake. @@highlandcycles

[@highlandcycles]

@@fmtnic I know. But they are made in Italy. Everything from Italy is over priced but sexy.

[@observerobserver797]

would mousse balls work in a Kenda 26x4 fat tire ebike that hits 40mph, if so how can they be ordered?

[@highlandcycles]

I don't know what size you would want.

[@shereemitch]

you can inject more lube thru the valve stem every couple of rides. Increases the life span of a moose tube by 20hrs easy, haven't tried the balls.

[@booger65man]

I just received mine from you and mounted them up and thought the same thing about leaving big gaps. They’re going to move around in there and you could end up with them all moving to one side or the other leaving large gaps. I did try to order some moose joose off of Amazon and after a couple of days got a weird message saying the order had been canceled too bad so sad and that if I wanted I could try again. Not sure if the vendor screwed up or Amazon screwed up.

[@highlandcycles]

Huh. That’s weird. I’ll ask him what’s up. You’re gonna love the balls

[@pezzica1981]

Are you riding Thursday evening?

[@highlandcycles]

Maybe. Got a race this weekend so I’m not sure

[@ronlawson5819]

What about those super thick tubes

[@highlandcycles]

I don’t like the Lucioli tubes. They are crazy heavy

[@zachfarkash6430]

Good stuff, i still need to get some moose balls

[@highlandcycles]

We all need more balls! hahaha

[@zachfarkash6430]

@@highlandcycles that's right

[@blainstenberg2806]

What if you put a tennis ball in between each moose ball

[@blainstenberg2806]

Just to keep even spacing

[@blainstenberg2806]

Or would that be 2 soft

[@highlandcycles]

Doesn’t work

[@donaldblank8873]

Is make a cut in a short piece of PVC

[@philsheridan6759]

Wonder if they could make a 2" lighter foam spacer so they didn't move or lighter sections you could buy. Been loving lucioli this year.

[@highlandcycles]

You can cut one down easily to just fill the gap. Lucioli is good but just too heavy for me. I don't think you notice it in the slow, hard stuff but at speed I actually really notice it.

[@coskier1969]

For trails, tubliss... hahaha 🤣

[@highlandcycles]

😂🤣

[@mikeburnett6222]

I’m so sorry Morgan, I knew that, must still be asleep. Can you please inform me on your information?

[@highlandcycles]

I don’t know psi feel. I haven’t run air in a tire in years. I just know that they work great and I can’t get a flat. Also psi is irrelevant because they don’t bounce or deflect like a tire with air.

[@donaldblank8873]

My stupid phone does not understand English

[@highlandcycles]

Hahahaha

[@Menz890]

They need too make half balls for fine tuning. 🤔🙄😬

[@highlandcycles]

Hahaha, a razor works perfectly

[@cjjorge6636]

when it cost 60$ then ill try till then na ill keep tubes !

[@highlandcycles]

For sure. Tubes work great
