Hey there!!
i was looking out for beadlocks and this is what I found. 😕 It looks interesting and should do the job. Best of all it costs a fraction of actual bolt on beadlocks (secondair retails for USD 250 + shipping only 🙂 ). let me know what you guys think about these . 😀 😀

this system looks more promising than the bolt on beadlocks as the inner tuber pinches both tire beads against the wheel with a pressure of 50+ psi. whereas the bolt on beadlock only pinches the outer side. Secondly it even acts as a bump stop and the main tire pressure can be kept as low as 5 psi :drive: 😀 best of all – u wont have to re-torque anything 😀 😀
on a separate note I completely agree and understand that popouts can be avoided with proper skills and without spending any $$$ however there are those unfortunate moments which cannot be avoided 😮 😮 and the hilift then comes out!
lastly is any DOmember using these:-? ???

IMHO, it’s just easier and advisable to learn how to avoid pop-outs.
These things look like a headache using them (nevermind the unjustified cost).
I would not feel comfy drilling my rims, and installing something inside them, and also having to fill/unfill 8 tyres, just to think that whatever I do, pop-outs will never come 😀 and that means driving skills will vanish in time.
just my 2 cents 🙂
I agree with Denis. There looks to be a lot of work involved there. Also, most tire shop guys probably won’t know these things so you will have to become the expert on the install process and then supervise the tire guy while he does it with the required tire equipment. It simply looks like too much work.
In due course, with improved driving skills the popouts become less and less frequent. A while back I was thinking to get beadlocks as I was having a bad string of popouts. I did quite a bit of research and reading on them and after all of my research, I actually was persuaded not to invest in them for a host of reasons: cost, weight, trickiness of install, etc and instead, focus on improving driving techniques and skills to avoid them. Looking back, it was the best decision for me as I avoided the investment and improved my driving!
