| How to make inflatable tires, air filled tires on beadlocks
This thread is about a method I came up with for making tires on beadlocks inflatable. No need for sealed tires at a constant presure to keep the water out and the foams dry. This method allows you to change your tire presure out on the trail and it should work on a lot of beadlocks.You're also no longer limited to what's already avaible for running air filled tires Here is a vid I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8GJm90S46c Hope this helps some people! Please share this video if it did. |

A real reason to have a spare mounted to your scaler.

Pretty decent "write-up" you have going there. Something that I thought about after watching, though, was maybe instead of using wire sheathing, you could use fuel tubing. Seems like it would work the same and it's maybe a little easier to deal with as opposed to having to pull wire from it's protective covering. Otherwise, it's a pretty creative way to eliminate foams, which not only would as you say allow the tire to conform more to rocks, etc., but would offer up a little weight savings, too.

By the way, in the video I drilled the seals but I think you should really be able to find seals that have a hole already. Just like using fuel tubing that would make this a little easier. | |
