apparently you can run 30 tennis balls insted of a moose tube and cant tell the difference between the two.i was told to put 29 in and after your 2nd ride put 1 more in and its all good.has anyone heard of this or tried it?

What brand Tennis Balls ??

I read this:
Tennis ball update
 
I have also noticed the bouncing of the front wheel when going over 80km/h, BUT on the dirt I noticed nothing but good traction.   In the beginning the wheel was a little hard and it softened as the km increased, like a moose.
 
The proof,
We spend the weekend in Lesotho, riding in the Roma area. We did the '10 enduro time trail , bushmans , welcome pass. It works guys, I will be taking them out this weekend to inspect.  If your budget is low and cant afford mooses go the tennis ball way, it really works.  NEXT time I will wrap a old tube around the tyre before putting in the tennis balls, I am sure it will take the whopping away.
 
Try it out, it will cost the same as a enduro tube. No punctures gauranteed.

Now we know how Pete gets the front up so easy but what happens in the back, may be thats how you can do bunny hops  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Who lies in bed at night, thinking this stuff up?
 
???

Mono's are all about Clutch n Throttle Control, "bunny hopping" I've ran over a few Bunny's over the Years.

Peter, I challenge you to find a unique AVATAR that is NOT a set of brests?

Brad, I challenge you to spell 'breasts' correctly!

I have looked at every avatar available, and i cannot seem to find a better one.  How about this one Dr Brad.

You are on, BTW I think your signature which folks can't see as to the evolution of riding is fantastic.
We should search now for suitable AVATAR's

what about just plain tits,titties or bazongas

We went from balls to norgs in record time...

Back on topic
We need to get the verbage correct. Are we talking about Moose products, who do make heavy duty tubes, or are we talking about Bib Mousse foam inserts made by Michelin?
Tire balls is another product, http://www.tireballs.com/index.php

Tennis balls sounds like a poor mans way of avoiding a flat tyre.. the weight of 29 tennis balls would turn me off..

One of the benefits of Bib Mousse foam inserts, is that rebound from the front wheel is reduced dramaticaly, therefor deflection is minimal from the front end, same goes for the rear wheel over rocks, logs etc.  One issue for Bib Mousse is that it will have overheating issues at speeds over 120kph.  Lots of lube is needed when fitting them, it helps keep friction between the tire and foam insert. KY jelly is a good water based lubricant ;D

Moose products does make a nice heavy duty tube, which is German made. But I find the Bridgestone X heavy duty is hard to beat for avoiding flats even with low tyre pressures, 8-9 psi.

i like #136

TUbliss is another anti-flat tyre system.. I have heard good reviews from this system as well..
http://www.nuetech.com/

Im working on a system that uses a combination of table tennis and golf balls and will be trying this on my next ride. Sorry, no photos of the ball insertion sequence at this time.

The mind boggles!

A drawback of using tennis balls in the front tyre is you have to bounce it on the ground a couple of times before lifting it up for a mono.

You did well Rat making it all the way down the list to #136, I only made it down to Bazooka's !

Na, Don't bounce "Just Throttle up, and up she goesssssss"

How about combining our toptits, er sorry, topics, there must be lots of discarded silicon breast enhancers somewhere? find em and use in place of the tennis balls. I have heard they bounce nicely with some built in dampening, (not like those loose ones of Petes) so they should feel, er sorry, handle good.

Sounds like a dodgy raquet to me. :P

How many squash balls would it take to fill a front tyre?

Who cares, run a 4mm tube problem solved

geebus,, imagine trying to put 4mm tubes in all those tennis balls..

Hey Rat, why rnt you out fishing

Who Cares, mines hardly ever on the ground.
