Re: Who does mousses in Beare Green/Dorking area?
Just put a new tyre on my 'moussed' rear.
Took a while and I needed an extra pair of hands twice, but definitely do-able at home. I'd imagine the rabaconda would mike life easier - especially getting the old tyre/mouse off.
On reflection, I'd take Luke up on the offer:)
Or follow this guys guide:

Re: Who does mousses in Beare Green/Dorking area?
I used to run mousses all the time but unless you are racing competitively, I wouldn't bother.
They're expensive, don't last long enough and are a little troublesome to change. I just run HD tubes and Rhino Spunk now. Very rare that I get a puncture trail-riding; in fact I can only remember one. (of course, that might be down to poor memory rather than lack of punctures
)
Mousses do give you confidence to ride like a nutter over rocky stuff though.

Are the rabaconda and the scorpion the same design, but one has legs?
