STAUN BEAD LOCK
"LIMP FLAT"

Jump to page: 1, 2, 4, 5 or FAQs

By Harry Lewellyn

Our BeadLock™ is not sold as a runflat, but several test experiences lead us to believe that it has "limp flat" capabilities.

What destroys flat tires is driving on them.  This flexes and pinches the rubber, the synthetic cords and the steel belts  to the point of heating and tearing the tire apart. Note the tight folds and bends on the conventional mechanical bead locked flat.  With this, you also stand a very good chance of destroying your expensive rim.  The Staun BeadLock "cushions" the tire and rim by virtue of the inner tube and polyester Cap.  This offers (careful) low speed tire and rim protection, and we'll report our high speed findings just as soon as they are in.  (Register for High Speed test results)

Although our BeadLock is not a run-flat, tests have shown that it certainly offer some degree of protection for both the tire and rim.  It lets you limp back to camp "less tire-and-rim destructively" when needed

Thank you Brian Jensen and Eric Jordan for the the "tire" poses.
