Burgard Beadlocks?

[400exBro]

are they worth the money??
Buy? or go with champions or ultimates??
thanks for your inputs...

[Dave400ex]

Talk to Rico he has them...

[ESR250R]

i bought some on ebay for 100 a piece they have the beadlock outside and ring inside. very nice rims for the price. i had to buy something else after i bent my douglas 190 and these rims are holding up great.

[Pappy]

you just cant beat them for the price......

[Dave400ex]

Pappy can they get 4+1 offset for the fronts?

[Pappy]

i can ask him. i dont think he does them on a regular basis...just the standard 3/2. i am buyin 4 from him soon.....i have douglas ultimates for the "look" but will use his for the majority of the racing duties. its kinda hard walkin in the shop and seeing a ton of them rims sittin there:p and not want some of them:D

[Dave400ex]

Awesome, I hope he can because for the price you can't beat them...

I'd have to say for the money there's really not a better deal anywere that I've found...

[racerx573]

I bought them off ebay, and they had Douglas stickers... IMO all beadlocks are the same.

[Pappy]

yep...burgard buys douglas .190 rims and then adds the inner rings and beadlocks.

[Tommy 17]

my champs look identical to those and cost 30$ more:o

i wish burgard made them last year...


my champs are made from a douglas .190 also...

[racerx573]

Tommy I bought mine last year...:p

[griffsfsr]

[muff]

I have just got them but they loose a pound of air every 15 minutes

the tires are brand new and the bead has seated and is properly clamped on, I also but a good 1.5 bottles of slime in just to make sure it wasnt the tire, the valves are also brand new and the air isnt leaking there

after I washed off my quad, water was sittin on the inside of the rim between the beadlock and the middle of the rim....bubbles were slowly coming out of the back side of the beadlock where the bolts go through, I might have to take the tires off to get re-welded but I'm not sure yet

Muff you sure it's not the bead... I know me and Jeff had a heck of a time gettin mine mounted up without leaks...:ermm:

did you take a razor knife and cut the extra BS rubber that comes with new tires around the bead????

[400exBro]

oooo...

i called 50 times in the last 3 hours and i got the answering machine all the time, or it was busy... how long are they open till on tuesdays??

ooooooooooooooooooo what a burn!!!!!

damn this old man got some good come backs....

[Dave400ex]

Pappy you ask him about the 4+1 offset? He only has 3+2 listed and I don't want that for the front.

[Pappy]

you know i was at work when he called and i didnt get a chance....i will find out for you tho:)

[AC 400 ex 02]

no flame taken pappy, your right but i kinda got confused, because usually there is a heading that says included, but there wasnt any and the price was so low that i wasnt really sure, thanks for clearing that up pappy:)

haha very true:p

[400exBro]

Pappy, do you think you could talk him into getting me a good deal on a lsr axle and 2 8x8 beadlocks??

i tell him you sent me, Kenny... right?

[Pappy]

well he has the rims about as low as i imagine he can take them....and i dont think he sells other parts...except the stuff he makes and turfs and radials

[DoctorRags]

Pappy, if he is willing to make 4+1 offset front wheels I may be interested in buying a set also. Does he not make them because of the demand, or some other reason? Also, just to confirm, his prices on the website are for two (2) wheels, correct?

[400exBro]

he sells lsr i talked to him before and he said that he has lsr axles for 349, but quadshop sells them for 335, so i hope he can match that price....

rims i will take them at that price becuase that is an awsome deal, 210 is a excellent price/...

[Pappy]

ahhhh he must be holdin out on me:macho i know he carries elka and some other stuff but i didnt know he retailed it....new to me:p

[400exBro]

i can't get a hold of anyone at burgard.... i called almost every 15 mins, (after 3) and i either get the answering machine, "sorry we are away from the phone...." or it will just ring and ring and no one will pick up, or i get the busy signal.... rrrrrrrrrrr:mad: , i have to order this stuff this week so it is here by some time next week...
o well i will try tomorrow, after 3 and see if i can get anybody, if not i wll send him a fax telling him what i want, and he should give me a call back...

[James70214]

PAPPY
What is the story on his new frames he is building? Do you have the inside scoop?

[Pappy]

the frame is about /2 done still sitting in the jig:( he expected a slow period that he could finish it and get the small parts out to be laser cut and finish up whatever else needed to be finished but that didnt happen:devil he has been busier then a one legged man in an asskickin contest:D the new design a arms ....his normal stuff...and the rush of people ordering beadlocks has him flat hammered. im hopin he gets on it soon myself cuz id like to have one:macho


bro....i will tell him in the morning that you are trying to place an order. dats all i can do:ermm: why do we always cut things to the last minute around here:confused2 lmao

[ScreaminZ400]

my MXR's are NOT seating on my burgard beadlocks?? i put almost 85 lbs into it its still not seating

[Pappy]

85:eek2:

jesus man have tried some spray lube...ive never had a tire not seat at recommended bead seating pressure. maybe take it to a qualified tire store before you blow that thing up:huh

[Ralph]

take out the valve, are you using an aircompressor? the bead insnt any differant than any other douglas rims since they are douglas rims with bealdocks welded on...

[Ralph]

and the good ol finger snatching way, mount the tire and pour a LITTLE gas around the bead and light her off with a lit paper towel. and keep ur fingers out of the way. THEY WILL SEt!

[ScreaminZ400]

yea lol

[400exBro]

i used plain dish washer soap.... put on the bead and it slid right on...

a word of adive, i would put a bead of silicon around the weld, were the outer beadlocks ring is welded to the rim... mine was leaking there, i put silicone around it and it stopped...

[QuadJunkies]

I wanted to bump this thread i hopes that womeone could give me a current price on the Burgards for the rears????? I went and looked at a set of them o na dif site and it said that they were 350.00 a set??:huh I was told 210.00 was the price......I would like any info please ASAP I want to order in a day or two.Thanks !!!:D

[Pappy]

as far as i know the $350 maybe with tires (turf tamers) $350 sounds like a typo ta me:p

I checked around to see what prices were to mount them.......HOLY COW:eek2: 25.00-35.00 per tire!what a joke! Ill have to pay it for my Honda but I saved $$ ordereing them mounted and Im sure they will do a better job getting them on properly....;)

[Silverfox@C&DRacing]

$25-$35 per tire to mount that is a total rip off and I am sure that they have one of the good tire machines and don't have to do it manually.

Thats what I was thinking..:mad: Im so PO'd that I have to pay that to have mine mounted......but at least its only two instead of four I guess.l..one place told me they couldnt give me a price until they got done:huh (honda dealer) I was like WTF..You think Im that stupid and tood them give me a price and afair one or Ill go somewhere else.......

[seven]

I told Troy I would mount them for free if didnt get the tire combo deal. If you need the fronts mounted i will do it and it takes about 10 min.

[Dave400ex]

Yeah when I had my Razrs mounted on my stock rims I couldn't believe how much some places wanted. Finally I went to our local guy and he did them for $10 a piece.

You must have talked to him while I was atwork.Ok Paul thanks.....;) Can you do that with your hands trying to heal?:eek2: If your Ok with that I really appreciate you doing that....:) Ill let Burgard know when I pay for them tomorrow...

[400exBro]

when you get the rims you might just want to put a seal of silcone around the weld on the inside of the rim(both sides), mine had a pin hole and it would leak, so i would do that before you get the tire mounted like i did... they are hard to get off once they are on...

[QuadJunkies]

So far my experience with Burgard has been great!!! They were very nice and have VERY good prices on alot of there stuff. I was hoping C&D sold Burgard just to make my contribution but no go..:( anyhow just thought Id tell let you know and Ill post my pics of them on when I get my other tims and graphics in the mail next week......:blah:
