Nice. But how would you mount a tire after the mod had been done? Would you still be able to seat a bead after all of the screws have been removed?

same as any other beadlocks i'd imagine
 
I was looking at the diagram that was drawn on Pirate, how exactly is that holdin the bead in there? Is it just pinching it between the rim and the screw?
 
old school dirt racing trick, it definitly works, add some bead sealer glue in there should be a good substitute to a real thing (to a point) also coulnt hurt to add some on the inner bead but im not sure how it would stand up to large tires and low air pressure...

you mount the tires like normal then screw the tire bead to the rim. Screw goes INTO tire bead... Just looks like a pain to change tires or fix a problem... But definitly cheep...

edit: i 'read' the pbb post, ya their doing it stricktly for snow wheeling very low psi on large tires.. where they are trying to keep the bead from pushing in vs spinnign.. On rocks and stuff with traction id say you still need to control the tire spinning also... but maybe not.... who knows... good write up.. but still looks like a pain... but id rather do that then fix beads in a snow bank :)

Done after the tire is on the rim. Yes it would be difficult to dismount but with air tools should be fairly quick.

Not for the "change tires every couple of months" crowd

I think you would still need to control the tire from spinning on the rim. Last fall I was at URE with my friend who drives the green S10 cab truck. We went through one of the mud holes on Rocky Mount on the way to Kodak and the rims and tires got covered in the slippery goo. He got up there and was spinning tires on one of the rocks with most of the weight on the rear axle and I saw the rim spin inside the tire about a half a turn on the right rear. Somebody was standing there with me, and we were both shocked. I had never seen it before. I think he usually runs about 7-8 psi. The muddy water probably got down between the rim and tire a little and did not help things.

im with yager, all the dirt guys ive seen do it screw the tire bead to the rim. in that pirate thread, hes screwing the screws behind the bead, to hold it agains the rim. either way, it should work well, especially for those of us with smaller tires.

oh sweet.

i thought they were going into the tire like the ones racers use sideways, but they are just behind the bead to hold it.

really good idea.
 
I think it's a matter of.. you get what you pay for in this case......

I've heard of strip racers going in fromt eh side thru the bead, and as pointed out to me in a discussion of it, that's only good for rotational forces, not lateral forces.

Granted, this idea goes behind the bead and does support it more for lateral forces.... it still doesn't fully capture the bead, thus I say... you get what you pay for

I will say this, it has been much better since he got the D60 and 14 bolt. :smokin: Funny thing is he was the same way when we use to ride before we got in to fourwheeling. He had a 300EX that we put a CR500 engine in that he constantly broke something on.

What I meant was after you have installed this once, and taken the screws out to remove the tire, would you be able to seat the bead with air with all of the little hole around the rim letting air escape.

they would just make it easier to spray Ether in there :D

you could just screw some through the outer bead like the drag racers do for the spinning issue and do the others for the bead issues.
