    I did read the thread the mousse tube thread but it can be a bugger deciphering the thoughts of many.

    I am heading to the Cape in July with some mates and I suggested we run Mousse tubes.

    It makes great sense to me in principle but then I hear horror stories every now and then.

    So for those of you who have used them I would appreciate your Y/N thoughts……especially on fitting them.

    No, I love Mousses for trail riding and racing enduros, pony expresses etc not desert or safari unless you can change them every day or two. Mousses won’t handle high speed or hot conditions and will fail when used for extended periods in those conditions. Ultra heavy duty tubes (note not heavy duty) Bridgestone or Michelin only. I have been to the cape twice in two groups (10 bikes total) no flats with ultras. That’s my experience and my recommendation.

    As far as changing them goes there are threads in tech help videos etc I think

    Hope that helps

    Thanks for that…makes it easy to decide given the UHD suggestion and experience up the Cape.
