I've been frustrated with my double beadlocks to say the least. They do their job although I've got 3 bent rims now. I can straighten them out half way descent, but mounting & dismounting is a royal PIA. I litterally spent 5 hours trying to dismount a cut tire the other day. So, I'm looking at going a different direction.
The one stipulation I've got is, it needs to be a double lock of some sort. I've been looking at & thinking about the Staun inflatable locks when I stumbled on this post on pirate "MuttLocks" Ever Since I've been trying to figure out why this wouldn't work? Basically it is the Staun locks, but replacing the Staun kevlar sleeve with a small tire. My plan would be to get some cheap steel wheels, weld on a bead / wheel protector (rock ring), & get some worn out low pro tires that the tire shops going to chuck anyway. All together this setup would cost me in the neighborhood of $100-$150 per wheel at the most & would be transferable to any wheel I wanted. What am I missing?
