    Aftermarket wheels

    I am sick and tired of bead leaks on the factory rims. Can I use standard ATV rims with inner tubes and just fill the tubes with green slime? I want to run a 10" wide rim with a 24" tire on my Conquest.

    Not unless you want to run them at 15-20 PSI. the only suspension we have is the tires hence we run them at 2-3 PSI... because of this the tires tend to slip on the rims. When you run tubes, the tube will try to turn on the rim with the tire and rip the valve stem out.

    Solution: http://www.permatex.com/products/aut...et_Sealant.htm Break one bead, clean the bead area of the rim and the bead of the tire with acetone. Brush on the permatex to BOTH surfaces. reseat the bead, flip the tire over and repeat. Air them to 10 PSI and let them dry for a few days. If you still have bead leaks use some slime to take care of it. My Attex would break beads constantly with "normal" driving. I permatexed the beads 2 years ago and have had no issues sense.
