The guys at

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. .

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.

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.

...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.

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.
