63 years old, riding over 50 years. That’s the first time I’ve seen a spoon used on the opposite side to find drop center. 👏🏻 I’m pretty sure that tire has a balance point circle. It’s yellow and marked at the lightest point of the tire. It goes next to the rim lock, the heaviest part of the rim.
Also I didn’t know that Dunlop had that tire. I’ll check it out after I burn off two more sets.
Thanks for your “reality” video. It’s nice to see humility and goes a long way in my book.
With Mousse, balancing is almost out the window without throwing it on a balancer afterwards. Because now you have the tire and mousse that you need to balance. I don’t believe this tire has a yellow dot like most street stuff but I may have missed it. Thanks 😊
Great vid. I have a Rabaconda too. What a great tool to use for sure.
Hopefully you learned something that will help you.
nice nice, wrote to Santa about Rabaconda, hopefully its not obvious that I was very bad boy...... nice video as always, cheers V!
LOL, that’s awesome
Great Job Buddy - thanks for sharing❤
Hope it helps you
This video is much appreciated brother man!
Hope it helps man. Tried to get all my little tricks in
Nice work man. Great detail and tips.
Thanks so much. Hope it helps you out
Nice one thanks for sharing this video buddy
Thanks mate. Hopefully you learned something:)
I'm glad you showed it with a bigger mousse. I still can't do a 120/18 Golden Tyre 333 and a Michelin M14 mousse despite using my Rabaconda. No idea what I'm doing wrong. I take it to my tire changing guy and he says it's a bitch even with a tire changing machine so not sure if it's me or the tire/mousse combo or both.
It definitely takes some time to learn. I still have some I struggle with from time to time. Find an older soft mousses and tire to practice with
Ok, now do it with 2 craftsman screwdrivers you got for christmas when you were 15 years old, and no bead pinchey tool.
Thanks for sharing the correct way to do this.
I’ve done it all sorts of ways and it can be miserable. I’ll stick to the correct tools when I can.
Definitely will have to get a Rabaconda. I am tired of changing tires on the ground.
They are worth it if you do mousses on the regular
I took ESS's advice on using a larger mousse for a firmer tire. Works great.. mounting was indeed tougher
🤙
As usual, great video! I might add one thing that I have run in to, the brake disk should be cleaned with some type of "Brake Clean" before re-install on the bike. I have found that some spray slick stuff will contaminate the brake pads. Then it's a new pair of shoes.
Good call on that one. Always a good idea to wipe rotors down just incase
2 or 3 bead buddies do the trick especially with Michelin desert race mousses which are way harder than those.
Good job Travis!
PS: for the rim lock at the end, you can push it simply by using one tire lever & the Rabaconda rim support tube underneath the spokes when you do your last bite.
Yes, the desert IT is a gift from satan himself 😂. I’ll pull out my bead buddies when it gets super difficult but a spin works well for me. As for the spot to wedge the rim lock…. I struggle to make that work
Great job with the video. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks man. Hopefully it helps
You made it look easy,thks.
It is easy…. Just need some practice and some technique
Great video. I find that I have to cut and stuff the Nitro Mousse even when new sometimes. I don't think they are very consistent in size even new. I just keep an old mouse for cutting pieces to stuff them.
I had that issue a few times last year but they seem to be getting better again. I’ve talked to them and they had some manufacturing issues
🤘🤘🤘
👌
With the mousse sitting on top of the bead lock like that, do you feel the bump if your pressure is low enough
No, I’ve never felt it before. In my gummy setup with a soft mousse and tire and I actually run 2 rim locks also. But I can’t feel them because it’s not that soft
Awesome
What size of the c clamp are you using? I've never seen this idea before but I bet it makes pressing the rim lock much easier!
I’m in Mexico so I can’t measure it this week. But I think it opens to 8-10 inches
I’m getting ready to change the tires on my new TBI 300 husky what would you recommend for tires and moose for winter riding
I’d say a soft rear mousse and a firm front one. As for tires, I don’t know if you’re running somewhere that requires studs or not. But a IRC VE33s would be a good place to start
It’s impossible to spoon one on a 140/80-18. My mousse is bulging 3” out from inside of the tire.
Might be oversized…. But nothing is impossible 😂
I feel like I’ve gone to war a few times with mousses that were too big. Man it sucks
@@EverySingleSunday 4 ratchet straps, 6 C-clamps and three 16” spoons in a fixed stand, and I couldn’t get the 1st bead half on. And I’ve spooned at least 20 tires before.
Travis- is this all you run on your bikes? Mousse I mean?
99% of the time. I run air in my ADV bikes for sure cause the bikes are so heavy
My “favorite” job. Mounting mousses. 😂😂 The mousse lube everywhere is the most annoying part. Wrestling a greased pig.
Oh man, they can be terrible. I hate having a mess and this can be terrible
Sorry te300i
Same
If you are doing the 3000th how to install a mousse video, at least do it on the floor for those that don’t have an expensive tire stand.
I did a video on how I do it tricks and tips and then I use.
If I changed my tires on the floor using sticks, then I would’ve done it that way, but I don’t
If you’re gonna leave the 3000tj comment on how you want to see a video made… you should go make the video
