Anybody running beadlocks

[differentstrokes]

I need to mount 2 rear tires on beadlocks, just wondering if there is anything special I need to do to the bead or any mounting pointers. Also what tire pressure you're running with them. IRazrs are what I'm mounting and they're radials so I don't know what the minimum pressure is either. I'm looking for the best hookup without having to worry about bending the rims (these are 10"). Any help would be appreciated.

As far as mounting them goes, I don't think theres anything special that you need to do, but then I've never run beadlocks, so I don't know for sure.

 

For air pressure, I run 10" rear rims, and have bent one on a rock when I was at 4.5 lbs. I have since went up to 7.5 and haven't had any problem yet. I also do think I remember hearing the irazrs like more pressure, helps them from getting flats or something.

Thanks for the reply, I just got the newest dirtwheels today and to my luck they have an article on this. Perfect timing I guess. I am still curious about what tire pressures people are running with beadlocks. I know I like around 4psi on my honda rears, but those are 9" bajas w' regular razrs.

with beadlocks you can run the flat if you want too.. just air then up like you would any tire.. if they are too hard and spinning too much you can let lil air out and not worry bout rolling the bead off in a corner like normal wheels...

do yours lock on the inside and out? The mount pretty easy i think easier them a regular wheel if you are doing it yourself!! Tire pessure is up to you

No, they're not dual beadlock. Just the outer edge, they're douglas ultimate conventional. I'll probably try about 5psi to start and go from there. I'll post some pics when I get them on...probably tomorrow.
