BEAD LOCK WHEELS/PROS AND CONS

I was not sure if the Dumbazz comment was for driving for 20 minutes with a flat or not being able to get the tire off the rear of the rim. We are all a member of the dumbazz club at some point so no biggie. All I know is that for my riding style beadlocks rule....

Carolinarhino called me a dumbazz for buying beadlocks...so I said welcome to the dumbazz club. At least I'm not by my self...

Well...he put a machined sheave on it and got it up to a whopping 40mph. Then his wifey rode it and that is where the fast and furious FO-FIDDY got slowed down to a crawl. Now the new top speed is 22mph with a tail wind... ...she just don't want her baby getting hurt.

Beadloacks definitely are not a dumbazz move... I can slash a tire past repair and still ride back to camp. Try that without beadlocks and you will be riding on bare metal...
