Bead Locks
Does anyone run two beadlocks on their rear tire? Ive got mine tight as hell, and the tire is still slipping on the rim. The rim has another hole in it that is plugged with a rubber plug, so it would be easy to install a second one.
Just wondering how you guys combat the wheel slip.

Yea, some guys run two....
I've seen rimocks in piss poor shape go back in, then the guy complains its still sippin'....
Duals can be a pain in the ass to get in.... Maybe just try a new one first.

it didnt appear to be in bad shape when I replaced the tire a few weeks ago. Next time I have it apart, I will have a new beadlock on hand. at this rate, it wont be long.

I wish Motion Pro made those in 2.5s - the 2.15"s I used, before I went to 2.5" rims on my rear wheels, were great things. A good product, so long as you have 1/2 a brain and read the recommended torque on the nut.AlisoBob wrote:Yea, some guys run two....

I would like a set.....I cant stand the randomly flat tires. They will stay inflated for days/weeks, then sometimes overnight one or both will be flat. air it up, and its good for a while again.....Makes no sense.2strokeforever wrote:tubliss makes it never slip
But, the cost has held me back from it

after you get it figured out you dont get the randomly flat tires, and for me they have saved me a ton of money, i was going thru a tube a month, had the tubliss for almost 2 years and i havent replaced anything, although i did buy a spare inner tube for each and havent used them yetI would like a set.....I cant stand the randomly flat tires.

the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

Like I said, the flats are random, and after the tire is refilled, it will hold air again for an indefinite amount of time.Rhino89523 wrote:Heavy duty tube, talc, duct tape instead of rim strip, no nut on top of valve stem, 2 rim locks.........No flats no slipping.
