Beadlock Conversion
Has anyone had any experience with converting there wheels to beadlocks there are single and double conversions available. I know it adds weight but not that much they have it down to about 3.3 lbs per single lock. The tire has moved about 1 inch in 1-2 events

Re: Beadlock Conversion
I always put a mark on the tires by the valve stem. Mine have always moved some at first. Have always stopped moving by the second race. Tubeless, 13 psi. Learned to not lube beads when mounting. Just mount dry.

Re: Beadlock Conversion
Champion Beadlock does good work and they are fast! I've never seen one move on a single Beadlock yet .

Re: Beadlock Conversion
Holeshot Wheels in Bunnell, FL does their own as well as other brands.
https://holeshotwheels.com/collections/beadlocks My tires have moved also, but less over time. I also swap them side-to-side after every race to minimize any change in balance and tread wear.

Re: Beadlock Conversion
What's the difference between single and double?
