Heading to the coast this weekend,have got my 36" simexs on 15x8 rims which are balanced really well but have a set of 15x10 beadlocks that arnt balanced in the shed. What I'd like to no are the beadlock rims really hard on bearings? Is it worth swapping them over or just leave them on the 8" rims.
Cheers Rich

Re: Unsure what to run
Its not just the bearings you have to think of
Its also hammering the ends of the steering link and tierods
And putting a lot os stress on the steering box mounts.
On saying that i drove my cruiser around for over 3 years on her beadlocks
I just had to cruise in it "happy speed" zone. And replace the flogged out ends more regularly. As you do....
