Fixing beads

[Herpderplol]

Any way to fix bead on tires??

The douglas set i bought for my black blaster has wrecked beads (from the people who put them on...)

I had it done last summer, so i cant really go back and complain to them. they never held air long, so we recently brought them to honda house, they said they couldnt help it.

So we are wondering if there is some sort of glue or silicone that could fix a bead?
It looks like they were cut along it, not in half.

the best thing you can do is gob some bead sealer on them and hope..

which auto stores could i get that at?

And would it hold up to putting them on?

it looked like they tried to put something on them...

could u put tubes in em?

 

[speedyslyder]

you could tube it but it will handle different..

They said they cant put tubes in them.

race tires flex too much is what they said

 

[Herpderplol]

tubes were our original plan

only advice i got is i tubed my sons 90cc quad and it handles like chit with tube in it

any reputable part store should have it. It can get messy its like thick black rubber cement.. It will cure but stay elastic like rubber.. You put it on the rim right where the bead sets with the tire try and be quick so once you inflate the tire it will squish between the rim and the tire..

90cc is way different than how these tires would be ridden.

the side flex would be enough to blow the tubes is why they wont do it

Post a pic, i will give u my opinion if i think the sealer will work..

I cant install the tire myself.

I think i will call honda house and see if they can

I had one that leaked real bad and I put some ultra copper in between the rim and tire and rode the sh*t out of it and it never leaked again

good luck you need a new tire, and tire irons.

I would say YES.. A good tire guy should have no problem making them hold air. Is the rim in good shape?

 

[Herpderplol]

yeh, just needs to be cleaned up a little bit. theres a little bit of the sealant (my guess) on it right now, just small traces

I cant see why a tube won't work? Anyway, that tyre needs replacing... I wouldn't waste my time with messy sealant and will it even hold up when riding hard? I have my doubts...

Alternatively, mount the tyre, seat the beads, deflate and squeeze tyre in a bench vise and put sealant around the rim where the damage is, reinflate, and hope for the best.

You can try beed sealant but I had a tire similar to how that one looks and didnt have luck with the sealant..it held for a day and then see you later air..i think it was like $10 for a quart from advance auto..good luck
