I rode this years and I used Tubes and was able to do a rear tire in 8 minutes which for a girl is pretty good. My first try this summer took me 45 minutes but after learning a better technique I was able to get down to the 8 minutes. When at the ISDE it is eaven easier because they require us to use an ecology tire which has soft side walls and was 140/80's so they were really soft and easy to work with. If you had the Dunlop 739 then that is much harder to do. If I ever do the ISDE again I will run the Mousse's because once you know the technique they are actually easier. The 2 girls from Switzerland that did the ISDE did their rear tire with mousses in 6 minutes. That leaves enough time for airfilter and oil change. [/QUOTE]
