What type of rims you running

 

[Blak92]

OMF beadlocks, worth every $$ when you can change 2 tires in 30 min.

How did you stay so clean i ran the am race and was 5 times as muddy as you

 

[Blak92]

LOL... I think a lot of it fell off, that Thor Ride stuff is pretty nice, waterproof and all. That and there just isnt as many bottlenecks either in the PM race, so you're not getting roosted on nearly as bad.

what do you mean change 2 tires in 30 min is that taking the tire off rim and putting different tire on the same rim? do the beadlocks make it easier to change the tire? ive never owned any beadlocks thats why im asking. i know bead locks are stronger and keep tire from coming off bead when flat but didnt know it speeded up tire changes.

 

[traitor08]

Yes, that is breaking the bead. You never have to take the rim off atv. But you either need to be fast with a wrench, or have a battery operated impact.

Arms are houser racing +.75"

I love them, made a huge improvement on the front end handling. Precision steering stab. also was a great addition. Wont ride another quad without one.

In 30 min, I can have two wheels with tires off the quad, remove the lock rings, break the beads on both tires, lube new tires, stick them on the wheel, install the lock ring, torque the lock ring bolts, blow them up to seat the bead and stick them back on the quad aired up and ready to ride.

How are you breaking the bead with the wheel still on the quad???

I either have the wife stand on the wheel while I ride up a 6' long 4x4 with the front tire of the truck OR put it in the hyd press, its actually quicker to do it with the 4x4 and truck than the press.

 

[traitor08]

A bead breaker, one arm goes on the lip on one side of rim, another arm pulls against it while pushing wheel off of bead. I had to modify it so he could use it while rim was on atv,
Pretty much just bent a piece of flat steel and bent it so it goes on one side of the axle. I could have the back bead broke loose before he had the bead lock off. Never timed it with on guy operating. I always did one tire while he was doing the other. Just google atv bead breaker, there are about 4 styles. A flat pry bar also works in a pinch.

Do you have any more pictures?
