Default beadlocks?

beadlock rims yes or no?? i was looking at burgards for 220 a pair for the rear.. does the sizes matter or do i need them to just match up with my tires. i ride trails hard and do local mx which isnt that big but i still do it.. worth it? what ya think is there any better places to buy from?

HECK YES they are worth every penny!!!
I have rear beadlocks w/ inner re-enforcing rings.These were bought new in 1997 and are in good shape still. NEVER a bead problem.
Read some posts on wheels, you'll hear all the crying cuz they el-cheapo'd their rims.

There are many companies to choose from. If you do a search on "beadlocks", you'll find a lot of info. I just put Douglas Ultimate Beadlocks on my ride today, but haven't tried them out yet. I haven't heard anything but good comments on beadlocks. Definitely will save me from flats during the Dez races.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

Beadlocks are the only way to go...I wasted three sets of rims inside of a year....after I went to the beadlocks I never had another tire problem...and they are still in great shape
