Hi all,
Well I have just bought my first set of beadlocks. They are Allied 32 bolt beadlocks. Since I am a newb to them I have some questions.

Can I balance them? If yes how? Can I balance them on a tire machine & not use BB's or other stuff?

Can someone give me a quick rundown on how I mount my tires? Do I just remove the ring and slip the tire over the rims? Then after I get the tires all mounted just run them up to my local tire shop and have them balanced?

What are the things I need to lookout for? The things I need to learn about running beadlocks? This is my DD/Trail rig so what do I need to check every day/week/month?

Thanks guys.
Kinda pumped about finally getting some beadlocks.

yep, just take them to get balanced :) Just kidding. I do not think you can normally balance beadlocks, but it may be possible.

Balancing a beadlock wheel shouldnt be much different from a standard wheel, only major differance is you can't attach weights to the outer wheel lip. So you will just have to add weights to the inner lip, or use stick on weights.

NE-ROCK has got the right idea. sticky wieghts would work better than only the inside bead with a conventional weight... and w/ a sticky wieght there is no chance of ripping them off when out on the trail.
