How To Install A Mousse With Hand Tools | Dirt Rider

[@xburtonboardnx]

"with hand tools most people have" 5 secs later "This is a specialty tool I created myself.."

[@dannyrose5576]

I know right, I fitted one today with literally two levers and my knee

[@martinvl1345]

This one of the best installation videos. Most don't explain that you have to use bead buddies or several tire spoons to keep the tire bead under the rim (in the valley of the rim) until you finish getting the other side of the tire under the rim. Otherwise, at least on a new rear tire and new bib, you will not be able get the final part of the tire inserted under the rim.

Brilliant video! For me, using the c-clamp for dealing with the rim lock is genius - thank you!

[@slowride2222]

Agree with other comments, brilliant. Should be the gold standard for how-to vids. Thank you.

[@slugslugster9338]

Thank you, did a full change rear 18 inch three leaver's, g clamp in 40 minutes due to cleaning and lubing went on easy as. The curved leaver is a God send. Thanks.

[@sam-ww1wk]

Jealous. That is one loose tire/mousse/rim combo. Be nice to see one of these vids on a more challenging set up to see how that's done without a mousse changer. I'm imagining the technique may be quite a bit different. Like the clamp set up, and walk through for easier mounting situations. And thanks for leaving out the heavy metal. Thanks

Legend mate. Blokes at work always want to tell me I don't know what I'm doing. They act tough trying to force on, sometimes 3 of them all struggling doing completely wrong. When I try and say it shouldn't take that much force, they destroy rims, tyre beads and rimlocks. They put over rimlock last with 3rd of tyre still 15cm inside edge of rim. Joke. I'll send this video to them. Avagud1 mate

[@chadc301]

This is a GREAT video! The only thing I do differently. Because I’m not as clean or precise as you. Is I put a shop towel over the rotor so I don’t get compound on it or cut my hand on it. You obviously don’t need that. Might be a tip for a nubbie though.

[@24hico]

Thanks for sharing your techniques. Great video

[@frankcraymerdds3875]

You make tire changing easy, thanks for the video. I have used your other vids, it really helps.

[@JohnVanHolt]

Doug also did probably the best tire / tube change video when he was with Bridgestone.

[@quipitisi]

"the whole idea is to use hand tools that most everybody has access..."..........................[...]....... "this is a tool I made myself..."... DOUGH!!!!

[@stacey2143]

How does it shrink smaller and become prone to not seating bead sounds strange

[@FamousLive11]

Great Tutorial - many Thanks

[@theeasternfront6436]

Wait....how does 6-10 hours of ride time equate to three tires? Y’all think we all have tire sponsorship??

[@jwiereng]

Guy says 6 to 10 hours. Later says basically 2-3 tires out of it. Seems hard to believe that both statements are true.

[@CMR.718]

Jason Wierenga I thought same thing? You’d have to be pushing it to do that

[@2litrepeter.]

Jason Wierenga . He will have meant to say 6 - 10 months.

[@tjthrillajaw]

I think he means you have to reactivate it (blow air into it to fluff it up) every 6-10 hours. And you can do it 2-3 times before you need to apply new mousse. But dont take my word for it I only ride on YT!! 😂

[@ThisTall]

I’ve watched 10 of these tutorials now and not 1 looks 10% as hard as the 140-80/18 I’m trying right now. Pretty sure the mousse is for a 120-100.

[@mikeholland5241]

Where can I buy one of these moose tube as I want my back tyre tubeless

[@biker742]

what do you do with the hole in rim?let water and mud get in there?

[@grahamsmith8122]

It has the valve fitted but cut off from the tube. Thats what he used to inflate the tyre.

[@fmtnic]

I use an old tube with the stem still on it as a rim strip. Just cut to the desired width. if you have a worn mousse just put the whole tube in to take up space. that can be difficult to install though but saves money.

[@markpearce2051]

At 6:15 you add air to seat the bead. Thought this was a Mousse that doesn't have air?

[@1993-y7m]

Mark Pearce I’m confused

[@mtbr347]

Doesn't hold the air. Just blowing air into the wheel to get the bead seated initially after tire install. The mousse will most likely seat the bead on it's own if enough lube is used. But, blowing a little air into the wheel gets it done quickly. The air then escapes out of the unused valve stem hole.

[@DieselRamcharger]

there is no valve stem, you are just blowing air in the tire to push the tire bead up over the safety rib on the wheel.

[@matthiasschulze393]

hand tools in title...and he goes straight to a tire mounting machine

[@eugenelane3291]

6-10 hours equals 2-3 tires 🤔.

[@mikejames4271]

6 to 10 hours.... 2 to 3 tyres?..............Lost

[@Bimmere]

mike James yea man, super confused as well!! If you have to change every 6-10hrs, then it ain’t worth it... 2-3tires then yeah not bad!!

[@Danman1972]

Also search for genuine dirt rider mousse install. Great video and a slightly different style. Defiantly all about technique. kzbin.info/www/bejne/raW0c4CvdppqkKM There are two or 3 videos. He uses a tool for tire balls during the install its like 80 bucks, but I have followed his instructions and its easy (3 big spoons, a small spoon, two bead buddies and a standard tire stand). Its all about keeping the bead opposite and as much as you can into the dish and how you handle the bead lock. Did the last one without cussing at all. Buy a few extra tubes of lube when you get the bib for different tires. I take the tire off and flip it every so often to get even wear and relube the bead it lasts longer.

[@hreindustries]

So with a mousse instead of a tube does it not have a valve stem?

[@Madskills810]

correct

[@v4sdude191]

m1ke2001 no air

[@grahamsmith8122]

Wrong, you cut the tube off the valve and fit the valve stem to fill the hole.

[@DieselRamcharger]

Did he just say you get 10 hours on a mousse......uhhh. fuck that. lol

[@jhananut]

Nice video but a need a few more irons and 1 more bead lock and I have a sliding clamp I can modify like he did I know is will be very hard mod based on the kids posting here 😁

[@juanjo669]

Very good... i Like

[@user-ig6ob2tg5p]

Nitrite Gloves...

[@aubreysweattii5700]

There is never not enough lube!!!

[@bcgal0004]

tubes seem easier and more practical .. and longer lasting

[@ColoradoKeith]

This video wasn't helpful

[@loudavis911]

This is hands down the worst description of how to install a mousse all time. Great install. Absolutely no idea how to explain what you're doing.

[@stevennoble7432]

They need to clarify 6 to 10 hours of riding and then what !!!!! Otherwise the video is worthless and confusing

[@jamesbramblett3346]

Best demo I’ve seen on this subject. Thanks

[@ezlivin1454]

Wanker

[@Lewiseyers]

Crikey talk about make hard work of it..no bead buddy or clamp is needed!..
