POWDERING BEADLOCK HELP
BLIN-2 Rev5
Problem: You are blowing tubes or finding that the beadlock Case is not properly seating within the tire.
Discussion: The problem is almost always due to insufficient use of talcum powder on the beadlock Case, tube, Air Channel and the inside of the tire beads. It may also be due to untrimmed wide tire beads (see BLIN-01 Wide Tire Bead Help).
Solution: Use lots of talcum powder on the beadlock Case, tube, Air Channel and inside of the tire beads as shown in these pictures. First, shake sufficient powder on the component and then spread it evenly across the entire surface of the component leaving nothing unpowdered. Pay particular attention to both sides of the inside and outside Beads (the black webbing at the ID) of the beadlock Case.
Powder the components in a small, plastic mortar boat (as shown right) or in the tire prior to mounting it on the rim.
Further, only use mineral talcum powder – magnesium silicate with the chemical formula H2Mg3(SiO3)4 or Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. Do not use bath powders that contain kitchen products like corn starch. They have a tendency to become sticky and impede component movement.
NOTE: These pictures are of the original, Australian, Staun beadlock (orange versus yellow tread and white versus black sidewalls, but the principle is the same and applies to the Coyote Boltless Beadlocks.
