A motorcycle oriented channel came up on my TH-cam feed with a discussion about something called a "mousse" (no, not a French mouse), I had never heard of this. I even spent a lot of time on dirt bikes in the early 70's and never heard or read about using a mousse in a tire. But, I wonder if that might be the answer to the single wheeled riders flat tire problem? Had you heard of a mousse?
Try some drops before you trust that tubless. I tried that with my V2 Master and a hand-squeeze or a curb-drop would burp the tire, or worse than burp it would fart out all of its air. That was dangerous and I put a tube in it even though I had widened the valve-stem opening for the tubless stem. That was 500 miles ago a year back. Its my backup road-wheel now.
OK, you jinxed my Patton, had not ridden it for a couple of weeks but did check rhe air back then. But, just tried to mount and it felt funny, first turn it slid out from under me. I walked it home checked the air pressure, it was 9psi. I only ride urban streets at 41psi normally, but i didn't bother to check today. Soap suds blows bubbles at the valve stem hole in the rim. 1550mi
The pattern on that tyre looks like arrows, which leads me to wonder if it is rotation recommended. On tyres with a rotation requirement very often the pattern can be seen as an arrow indicating the direction of rotation - just something I have noticed. £ crash
@@EUCArmy I did notice you have fitted it that way (in line with the tread pattern), but of course if its not rotation sensitive then that's an irrelevance 🙂

Have not heard of it myself
Very intrigued on how that tire will feel on the master. Thanks Duf.
You and me both!

I will do that

Damn! Glad you caught it before meeting a similar end result as I did.

Thx bud

I dont think so, it's EUC specific
