We talk in details about the Lucioli extreme 7mm inner tubes - Whats good... Whats not. SMXOFFROAD.COM
Пікірлер
Here in Brazil the Lucioli is pretty much our best and only option cost/performance wise for the rear. Usually I lube it really well with tire soap when assembling, I've changed countless tires this way and I´ve yet to change a tube, so I don´t really know how long they´re able to last this way. The ability to change pressures anyway you want is a big plus.

Should check out the tube saddle. It’s a foam liner that protects from pinch flats. That’s what I use in the front with a standard HD tube. Lightweight and have yet to get a flat in 3 years of running it almost every weekend.

I like tublis for most of the same reasons but better handling, less weight and better rim protection.

Tubliss for me, front and rear, for all the same reasons exept its way lighter and no rim locks to worry about. They last for ages if fitted well.

Tubliss is a possible alternative and can easily be plugged with cheap plug kit whilst on trail. But if your running soft compound tyre it's easy to slice/split the tire wall and game over, which happens regularly on training days we run.

This is all new tech for me. I had to goog Michelin Mousse & Tubliss to find out what they are. All three if these have their pros & cons, but I'm too cheap to pay the prices any of these go for. Maybe I'm lucky, or don't ride too hard, but I haven't gotten a flat in many years.

Depends what your riding and how important grip is to you I suppose. If your looking to high speed then no these are not ideal. If you want maximum tyre squish and grip then happy days. Extreme Enduro is the keys words here

100% agree. Significantly increased unsprung weight and rotational inertia add up to poor handling at any speed.

Thanks for the comment nvcmcrider8475 🤙. Lucioli are the same price as michelin bib mousse, but you need to weigh up the differences.... Mousses take time to run in and have a limited life, Lucioli are tested to over 300 hours and are ready to go out of the box.. Mousses are not dot approved, Lucioli are road legal... Mousses are for specific tyres sizes so you need different mousses for different tyres, lucioli will work in all enduro tyre sizes.. When a mousses is split or damaged there dead, lucioli can be repaired.

A MX tyre is measured across the knobs, but an enduro tyre is measured across the carcass, so it is possible for a 120 to be similar size to a 140 but only if they are different types of tyre.
