Hallo zusammen,


ich zitiere:
"Problem: A 4WD split rim by design has two gaps in the rim that dirt, dust, and sand can enter the tyre over a period of time. This does play havoc with tubes and is often the reason for those annoying little slow leaks if you spend a lot of time off-road at lower pressures. Obviously if you are dealing with sand all the time it can be a real concern and it only needs one grain of sand to produce a bad result eventually.

The removable locking ring is not waterproof so water can get into the rim and tyre and can cause problems from rust over a period of time


Solution: You can dop some silicone into the gap in the lock ring and also fill in the slot where the valve comes through the rim. That should stop sand & grit getting into the tyre and onto the tube
At least every year make sure the tyres are taken off your split rims; gives the rims a clean up with a wire brush and paint it if they need it"
