Recommend using a Rabaconda to change tires though!!!!

Write Your ReviewFirst of all, I bought a tire that was too skinny for this thing and actually BROKE the steals in the bead of the tire on installation. It takes a wide tire, I used the bib on the rear only.
There is a break in period so I would NOT recommend just buying this and racing the next day- it feels like you have 20 psi your first 2-4 rides, then it really settles in and softens up.
Those 2 reasons are why I was harsher on my review HOWEVER, after getting these 2 things out of the way- this thing was AWESOME!
I ride enduro/harescrambles/occasional moto and ride moderately, like 1-2 times a month. This lasted 2 years, very soft after this but hooked up even better on rocks, mounting was the hardest part so flipping the tire or anything like that is a choir with this but for never thinking about flats in long races, its a must and once broke in, hooks up so well! I am planning on buying again, I may be biased because I always seem to get a flat somehow in the longer enduros but the peace of mind and overall performance of the bib was for sure good.
Race desert and wanna win better get a bib/ forget trying to miss rocks and ride over them/they last only year but best money ever spent besides a stabillizer
Wow these things are hard to put in. Worth it though, planning on racing some nasty terrain, and the hook up is nice.
i thought that I was buying something that would last. Not worth the purchase price and challenge to install. When I opened the box and read replace in 6 months I knew I made a mistake.
Once you learn how to install them, it's easier than changing a tube.
if you know how set up your tires, rims, and the Bibbs on a KTM EXC 500 you CAN do over 2000 miles off and on road (some times 80+ mph at length) from San Diego to Cobo, and back in 15 days with the same set of "off road tires" not blocky DS street tires,and the SAME set of Bibbs.
I'm a woods racer. As I move up in class I am riding faster and harder which naturally puts more abuse on my tires. Last season was having tire issues so I tried a bib-mouse front and it really helped. I am now setting up for bib-mousse front and rear and expect to ride much better and faster.
Love this mousse set up when riding in the desert at high speeds i have way more confidence especially when coming into an unexpected rock garden the front doesn't deflect like it used to it just takes whatever you throw at it! awesome set up! installation should say requires a buddy but you can get it done!
if you are racing off-road. They are a pain to install and don't last that long, but you won't dnf from a flat.
