USING WIDE RIMS WITH COYOTE BEADLOCKS
USING WIDE RIMS WITH COYOTE BEADLOCKS BLIN-11 Rev0 Problem: Coyote beadlocks (BL) specify 10-inch maximum rim width. Can they be used in wider rims? Yes, with tires that have wide tire beads. Check with your tire manufacturer for your bead width. Background: The Coyote beadlock specification assumes that your tires have standard, ½” wide tire beads that fit completely behind standard rim bead bumps as pictured in Figure 1. - Read More -
WIDE TIRE BEADS BLOW INNER TUBES
WIDE TIRE BEADS BLOW INNER TUBES BLIN-01 Rev04 Problem: Multiple Coyote beadlock (BL) inner tubes have failed. Background: The inside edges of all tire beads are very, very sharp. Also, large off road tire beads have wider-than-normal beads. This varies by brand and is not exactly predictable by size. I’ve seen beads as wide as 1.25”. Normal bead width is one-half inch and the sharp edge fits completely behind the bead - Read More -
AIR CHANNEL MOUNTING DETAIL
AIR CHANNEL MOUNTING DETAIL BLIN-10 -Rev3 Problem: The Air Channel (AC) does not air down the tire without first deflating the beadlock inner tube. Background: Most likely, the BL case outside Bead was mis-installed. The arrowed red line in Fig. 1 shows how the BL case Bead was improperly placed directly on the metal of the rim’s drop center, below the AC. Fig.1 Fig. 2 - Read More -
INSTALLING COYOTE BOLTLESS BEADLOCKS VIDEO
The Coyote Dual, Internal, Pneumatic, Boltless Bead Lock is a tire within a tire. It divides the tire’s air chamber into two separate compartments and thus has two valve stems. One is for the tire and the other for the beadlock. Think of the beadlock Case as a mini-tire and hence its parts are named the same. There is a Tread, two Sidewalls and two Beads. A heavy duty inner tube within the beadlock Case forces the Case to take shape and do its job. The inner tube is inflated up to 50 PSI and forces/pinches both tire beads against the wheel. On a 15 inch wheel, we calculate that there is over 4,500 pounds of force holding the beads against the wheel! This is in addition to the force required to pop the beads over the wheel’s bead bumps. Through a standard valve stem fitted with an Air Channel, the balance of the tire can be inflated or deflated to any pressure less than 45 PSI. Watch the video to see exactly how.
