Default Erickson 2.2 Beadlocks with losi claws problem.

I bought a set of lightly used erickson beadlocks, I just mounted up a set of losi claws to them. Once i get the ring all tighten down the tire bead seems like it pushes out like the bead channel isn't deep enough. They still hold tight but it doesn't look right.Maybe i Possibly have an older set of these wheels? if anybody else has this combo could you please chime in. thx. joe

The really old version (Pre MSD) has has an angled groove and is not very deep. The next generation as seen on the home page is not angled and is very deep. In addition the ring has a recess on the back to further lock the bead into the rim.

I have new version Ericksons and I had the same problem when I mounted up my new claws. Some beads mounted up fine but then are just like you desrcibed. It looks weird but I don't think it hurts performance.
