I have a set of Hiper Sidewinder duel beadlocks fitted with the Pitbul Growlers and I'm having to pull them apart to clean sand out of the beadlock because they are causing air loss. Is this typical? I sure hope not with the cost of them. Any suggestions?

make sure there clean when they mounted the tires,

and keep the bolts on the beadlocks tight evey other ride ,

from what i hear this helps !

Just double checked the torque specs. Will clean them again as well, thanks.

were they all tight the bolts?

i hear from a few Hiper owners that they all leak. something about thick tire beads do not sit well in the Hipers.

all correct torque. I'm thinking might user a bit of silicone on the bead ring

you will regret using silicone when you change tires. Figure out where and why its leaking first, remove the tire and rotate it 90* on the wheel. air it up to 15psi and use dish soap and water in a spray bottle to find it.

Having trouble with my stock front left tire. After yesterdays ride, 3rd time. Keeps getting dust, dirt, sand under beadlock. I am taking it in today. Must have a problem with a ring not completely true. That is all that I can figure....
