Can I cut a 19" mouse and use it in an 18" rim. I can get a new 19" dunlop mouse for $10. Thanks. Cam.
yes, just be sure the OD is a good fit for tire ID, for normal trail user I use pieces of many. It really is more about the OD of the mousse and how it fits the ID of the tire. As well as what feel you want
Dunno about that one. The mousse you can buy is 1 inch larger on the ID of the mousse. It is not so much about cutting material out as it is to add to the inside of the mousse. Unless I am having a brain fart moment. In other words, it would be loose and sloppy fitting on your 18"rim.
OK I get your point, yes you can test fit it but probably best to cut a section out, but if it goes in over a 19 it will be squeezed just like when we add sections, this just squishes the mousse a few mm bigger in OD. Its definiatly not what the engineers designed, us cutting and putting in pieces . You need to experiment with what you like for fit and feel. hard to explain without doing or showing.
