I bought 16.5 beadlocks. I know the outside bead should hold good. I was wandering if anyone had screwed their inside bead? if so what kind of screw are you using? how many? how long? does it work for you? :confused:
do you use silicone around the bead to help leakage?
thanks for the help...:D

order proper grade 8 screws from summit or some other racing company, if you use cheap ones they break easy, trust me I found out the hard way. yeah I used a touch of silicone on mine but thats cause I used the wrong ones and a few went right thru. I never lost a bead with the screws only had problems when i tried to remove the tires.

I ran 32 of em, yeah drill the rim before mounting the tire, install tire and start screwing, cordless drill makes life a lot easier.
