Fixing leaky bead?

[fastkid400]

I got some klaw mx's and the rim and tire arent sealing, ive tried tapping in the bead after finding the leaks with water, and they still leak. i tried silicone, they leak, i think im gunna try silicone again, but with a caulking gun,(the big tubes of it) what would u guys recommend, im kinda pissed off, lol

I had the same problem, so I bought a can of "fix a flat". The kind that you screw onto the the valve and it sprays sealer stuff into it. It worked perfect for me.

we have used the tire slime and it works great for holes and punctures, i didnt know if it would seal the bead, where can i get that bead sealer at?

Don't use fix-a-flat, that's the half *** way to do it. Besides it pisses the tire guys off next time they take the rim and tire apart. You could try that bead sealer but you might be better off just putting a tube it it. It will add a little weight but you know the bead won't leak.

I just used automotive silicone and it worked great. I am sure the bead sealer will work too, just a little bit harder to find.

if it leaking very slowly, a couple of ounces of slime will work.

Yes, I understand it makes a mess while changing tires, but if it holds air, who cares?

its call slime or bead locks
they work great
