I posted this before but got little response, but i'll try again.
Has anyone ever noticed that their rims are turning inside their tires ? I've had 27" mudlites mounted on the stock rims of my KVF 650 all last season and when I took them off last fall noticed that the rims had been spinning on the tires....well...I recently got some ITP C-Series, due to rubbing problems with the right rear, and after the first trip with them yesterday, I noticed again, the rear rims are turning on the tires. I haven't had any tires go down due to this, but am just wondering if anyone else has noticed this...and if so...what's the fix ? Possibly a coating of rubberized "bead sealer" on the rim to hopefully hold the tire better ???

Some people use screws to hold tires in place when pulling, just long enough to go through the rim and slightly into the tires.

 

yea, was thinking that too Shotgun...just like the drag racers use...but I really don't wanna bastardize my new C-Series is all...ya know what i mean

 

yep, I hear that....that's why I don't use them also.

have someone mount them without using the soap.

 

yea, might just try that also...with a thin coating of bead sealer...can't hurt any. I change all my own tires, so i'll hafta take the time and try a few things. I also just purchased another set of c-series to use with some holeshot atr's, but haven't tried this combo out yet..hopefully they won't spin on me too.
