The guys at http://www.bulletproofdesigns.com can get 'em for you. It kinda depends on what part of town you're in.
Be sure to click into the links at the left side of the page since that money comes back around.

I had a flat in the rear after 4 laps in. Iv ran bibs before but they felt like the tire was rolling in the corners. May have to revisit that option again. Any feedback from the tubeless systems?

I would go with tire balls before tubeless. A guy we ride with runs tubeless and is always having problems with it. .

Re: Moose bibs
I've become kinda bib mousse-dependent. They're expensive, you might could put a hole in the wall if one of the 3-4 tire levers slips loose amidst install, but DAYUM, there's nothing like knowing you can't get a flat. I can usually get 2 sets of tires use out of one pair of bib mousse. I'd recommend at least running one on the rear.
I may not rail corners enough to notice the "rolling" symptom, but good mousse lube, the right tools (i.e., a tire change stand with bead breaker and a bead holder and 3 tire irons) and it's totally worth it.

If it's got 2 wheels, I wanna ride it!

Re: Moose bibs
Agreed on the bibs.
I'm running a pieced together bib at the moment and although it's on it's last leg, it still is better than using a tube. I love the "dead" feeling it gives. No air pressure to deflect off rocks more. The forks handle better because of it.
It is awesome knowing that you can't get a flat.

Re: Moose bibs
...2nd what PK said.
Also, you might consider looking at spare wheel/tire sets when you got to bibs. Maybe a do-it-all (most) front wheel/tire and then two rears. One knobby and one trials tire.

Re: Moose bibs
I must be doing something wrong, pressure wise, or I am not fast enough.
But knock on wood, I never have had a flat in the last 3 years of FMHSC racing.
(Running out of gas on the other hand, I am good at)
But even though my luck has been good. I still need to talk to Letko about going with Moose Bibs for the future.
