The first thing is sop them down with soppy water and see where the leak is. It might not have anything to do with the bead locks.:cool:

Take the bead lock ring off and clean everything. The back of the ring, both sides of the tire and the face of the rim all need to be clean.
Most of the time when bead locks leak they are packed with sand.

Mine are 3 years old and still hold air for months at a time.
