Nitromousse Size Finder

Rim width can be different on different bikes.  It is usually stamped onto the rim, but not always.  It is important to know your bike’s rim width so you know which mousse to use with your tires as the rim may change with mousse you need.

Mousses are 100% flat proof, if this is your top priority, then it might be a better choice. The TUbliss is designed to improve on every aspect of performance, protection and adjustability compared to a tube. If you want the security of not getting a flat, then a mousse is probably best for you. If you want the ultimate in performance and adjustability, then the TUbliss is the better option. Some even find it is best to combine the two with Nitro in the front tire and TUbliss in the rear for complete flat-proofing on the front for bashing rocks and ultimate traction from the drive tire in the rear.

While Nitromousse is much more stable in temperature changes than other tire systems, extremes in temperature can have an effect on how the Nitro feels in your tires, especially extreme cold.  Cold can make a mousse feel stiffer than warmer temperatures.

Nitromousse is about as heavy as a heavy duty Innertube. So, Nitromousse it is heavier than a standard tube but the same as a heavy or ultra-heavy duty tube. (is this correct or is it about as heave as an UHD tube?)

Well, how long do your tires last? Or your bike? The answer is that it is different for everyone depending on many factors.  In head-to-head test Nitromousse regularly lasted at least twice as long as other mousses, but the exact time is different for everyone.

Yes and No…With SOME tires that have more of a TEAR DROP inner shape, it does need 1-2 heat cycles for the foam to suck down into the rim and form to the tire.  This is not a “break-in” as much as it is a “settling-in” period.

First and most important check the fitment chart to be sure you have the right Nitro for your tire.  Next, how old is your Nitromousse, is it possible that your mousse has reached the end of its usable life?  If all of that is ok, then this is what to do. If you have installed a valve from an old tube to plug the extra hole in the rim, then just shoot some air into the tire to seat the bead. If you don’t have a way to use air, you can ride slowly on the tire and usually the bead will seat itself.

Nitromousse are purposely designed to be a bit smaller than the rim so that they can suck down into the drop center of the rim.  This gives better bead pressure and sidewall stability in hard cornering.

As with anything, it is all about technique.  If you use the wrong technique, installing a mousse is very hard, use the right technique and it is much easier.  We have created videos and written instructions to aid you in installing Nitromousse in the easiest possible way.

Yes, we recommend that you should always use a rim lock with your Nitromousse. The rim lock is an essential safety feature of a dirt bike wheel.

Yes!  We have tested everything from axle grease to personal lubricants and NOTHING outperforms NitroLube for mousse lubrication and heat dissipation. Using anything else will shorten the life of your Nitro.

One per tire change.  As long as you have covered any unused valve holes with either rim tape or put a valve cut from an old tube inside to plug it, and have taped the rim to cover the spoke nipples, there is no need to re-lube your Nitro or use more than the 1 tube provided in the package.  The only time you need to add a tube of lube is when you are changing your Nitro to a new tire.

The NitroWedge comes with installation instructions but in its simplest form you are just adding a piece to the current mousse. First make a cut in the mousse, put the cut mousse in your tire, spread the cut ends apart inside of the tire, measure the gap, and install a piece 2”-4” longer than the gap.  This can be adjusted up or down to the feel you are looking for.
