I thought both mouses and Tubliss weren't road legal.

I second that.

Unless you regularly lube mooses, they first reduce in size, then fully break down into dust!

If you do use mooses, lubricate with pipe grease, Hepsleeve or similar, approximately 1/50 of the cost.

I raced on mooses for 10 - 12 years until I discovered tubliss, had no detrimental effects whatsoever with the pipe grease.

As they reduce in size they can become a handful on the road, wrap moose in dead HD tube, zip tied around.

This will take up the slack and give you a few more miles, but make sure well lubed.

Trail riding generally means you wont be changing / removing your tyres nearly so often as with racing, so by the time you get round to lubeing the moose the damage will already have started. They tend to break down from the inside outwards.

Changing tyres with mooses generally involves a tyre changing frame, a proper ******* without, extra expense.

In my opinion, spend your money on the tubliss, read their bumpfff, worked for me.

just in case people don't know why they (the tubliss system, mouses and 4mm HD tubes) are not road legal, is that prolonged road use can cause them to fail. i.e they get to hot and a mouse will break up,

the 4mm HD tube can expand and split as it gets hot due to the thicker rubber and and extra weight.

not sure the same would apply to a tubliss system as it cant generate heat in the same way. confuse

hope this helps.
