Beadlocks

[vvega]

2nd hole in a rim needs a cert, you would get away with it for wof, but if you were in an accident it's an easy way out for insurance

can you show how its dosent conform ....

i asked my cert guy this 6 months ago, he said they need cert, if this is changed now, "sweet", makes 1 less thing to worry about

ive asked our cert guy and hes scoured the rules and cant see how it violates them and needs certing ..... but like everythgin .. interpritation of the rules plays a BIG part

just going on what my cert guy told me. but if your information is better than mine its all good then

not better just different ... perhaps get a copy of badnutz letter and give that to your cert man ... see if that brings him into alignment

so any way... do bead locks only lock one side of the tires beads??

[flyingbrick]

External only do one bead.

internal do both

[GETNLD]

so whats better, can internals be fixed out on trail?
do you run tubes with internals?

[gary_in_nz]

so there is still a posibility that someone as stupid/unlucky as me could pop the inside bead off?? but the internal lockers (ie staun) lock both sides?

[swampa]

i know at least half a dozen guys with internal beadlocks that have had them either spin off, (extreme hard abuse, not club truck trip sort of abuse)or go flat, external beadlocks all the way if budget allows, along with cert, my 2 cents worth, i dont know of anyone who has popped a tyre off with external beadlocks, if there is i would say they wernt put on properly

my friend got some of the staun ones,first time out and all 4 inner tubes got puntured.you have to take the shape edge off the tyre were the inner belt/tube touches/pushes on the tyre.I guess some tyres are worse than others,theses were creepys.(not happy)nothing in instrustions about that but it is on there website at the bottom so I'm told.he had to buy 4 new tubes.

If fitted correctly they should work fine

Yeah !
I have been concerned with the stories around the Staun internals but for a road going truck I think there is more benefits as far as wheel balance and reducing weight. Like Darinz said - " Install them properly and keep the beads clean".

I'll be going with the Stauns
