No levers, no pumps, no tubes NO FLATS !!
Mousse are the go you cant get a flat because they are made from a multi-cellular butyl material, Bib Mousse replaces conventional tubes, providing a pressure equivalent of approximately 13 psi
Specifically designed for off-road competition use, at speeds up to 80 mph (130 km/h). Above this speed, heat build-up can lead to rapid destruction of the Bib Mousse, resulting in serious injury to the rider. Under no circumstances should Bib Mousse be fitted to motorcycles for on-road use.
They say that Bib Mousse may be used only with Michelin off-road tires, including StarCross MS2, StarCross MH2, S12, M12, H12, Enduro Comp III, EnduroStar, Baja and Desert. Because Bib Mousse is shaped for a perfect fit inside these Michelin tires (see sizing chart below), use of Bib Mousse with other brands of tires can lead to handling instability and possible destruction of the Bib Mousse. I have been running them for 3 years now in Maxis and Michelin tires.
Each Bib Mousse includes a tube of Bib Mousse Fitting Gel – installer must be sure to follow installation instructions supplied with the product.
Bib-Mousse should not be stored for long periods at temperatures higher than 30°C
The maximum useful life of a Bib-Mousse is six months from the date of installation on the motorcycle ( not sure about that mine is over two years old ). This period could be significantly reduced in cases of intensive use. For example, the useful life will be much shorter for motocross applications than in enduro use.
When new, Bib-Mousse simulates air pressure equivalent to 0.9 bar. This pressure will decrease gradually over the life of the product. Replace the Bib-Mousse when it becomes too soft for safe riding.
At the start of each ride, take care to bring the tire and Bib-Mousse up to operating temperature gradually.
When installing a previously used Bib-Mousse, you must re-lubricate it using only Michelin Bib-Mousse Mounting Gel.It is possible when the mousse goes flat to get an old one and cut a section from the old one say 4 inches long, remove the flat one from your tyre, cut it through, pull the two ends apart and insert the 4 inch piece well lubed of course. Refit the tyre and happy days
You need a mousse tyre changer for the rear, extra levers and I don’t know what! They are a bitch, fronts are easy, three levers happy days.
