? Staun internal bead locks with bead lock rims.

Definitely worth having, I used to hate my baja claws at 12 psi, at 6 psi I love them.  They'll crawl up anything, just need to watch those side walls in the rocks!

On my Allied beadlocks   , the innner bead is glued and has never leaked or  become unseated.

That's the 1st I've heard of that. How long has it been that way, have you aired the tire all the way down and checked to see if it is still glued or just hasen't been stressed enough to burp? What did you glue it with? Thanks.

They've been glued since 2007 , have been aired down numerous times.

The glue ?  ,  was about $45 / pint , is an adhesive for tire beads ,  purchased at auto value , I suppose it could be found anywhere , tires are sold , if you asked for it .  The tin of glue hasn't been opened since I used it the one and only time in 07  , it wouldn't surprise me to find it  cured into a solid glob of adhesive.

Thanks. When you aired them down to 0 pounds did you check to see if they were still glued well or just never had a problem? Do you wheel, well aired down? Again, thanks.

if you want a run flat and double beadlock look at the hummer rims. there are companies i nthe states that remove the centres and put whatever centre in you'dlike, as in any bolt pattern and whatever offset you want. and they have the run flat ring in the middle. and they are a double bead lock like the hutchisons, just much cheaper. downside is they only come in 16.5" diameter. i think stazworks builds the same thing just any size.

Thanks, I already have rims and Stauns so a full new direction isn't for me.

Wheel with zero air pressure ?    ,      Why  ?

   I'd rather not mess up the side walls , or a rim on rocks.

Sorry, you missunderstood. Not wheel, just check. They could have become unglued and you wouldn't know it unless you aired  to 0 & checked. The 2nd part about wheeling is a ? as to what pressure you wheel at & do you do big rocks or just mud & sand mostly. Trying to get an idea if they will stand up to sharp rock wheeling that might burp them or not. Thanks for all this.

A simple inner tube is enough to keep your regular beadlock from ever burping on you.

Unlike when using a staun where it is the primary lock and you need high pressure, a regular beadlock if it has burping issues just needs a low pressure inner tube to maintain a bit of pressure on that rear sidewall.

I've never had to do it with my locks, but my freinds in california do it a lot because of such aggressive rock crawling that they do.
