Thread: Bead Locks any good

Thanks for that Dave,
Your writing has, as it so often does, brought a chuckle and a big smile to my morning.

Staun will give you a heads up on who fits them in each State. For intance I understand Fourby's in Brisbane do them.

I fitted mine myself with no issues. However check out dimensions of your wheels carefully. For instance location of new tube stem (2nd stem) being close to wheel centre so beware fouling brakes, ease of getting air nossle on etc. If your normal valve stem is located close to internal corner like classic/D1 alloys you need to file a chamfer in the external washer. A instal tip is use timber blocks of just the right size to sit under tyre so the wheel drops and the beadlock casing sit in the wheel centre or section of wheel with smallest diam. If not you will be reaching for the tyre iron to set the casing which is a big no no.

They work treat for me yanking a boat trailer though heavy sand.
