How do you know when a mousse needs replacement and typically how many tires can a mousse be used for?
They get softer over time and will start to feel like a flat tube.
6 months is about the max recommended life. It depends on usage. Heat is the main enemy of them. With each heat cycle the foam beaks down more.
I usually get two rears per mousse. I'm not hard on front tires so I usually end up with a new mousse with every tire.
Since you have a spare wheelset, you have the ability to store them in the guest closet in climate control which will prolonge the life aswell. You want to keep them off the ground to avoid flat spots.
I would not expect to get a long life on the highway. Dakar and isde guys get a day out of a mousse.
