Are Beadlocks legal in Australia?
After reading the Bridgstone article, which mentions the use of internal beadlocks, I am a little confused. I thought beadlocks were illegal in Australia, but am happy to be proved wrong.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Pretty sure the answer is no, most motor x bikes have them std
Not sure about internal bead locks as well

Nah internals aren't because you have to drill a hole for the second valve so it's a rim modification and I don't know of any rims that come with 2 valve holes.
As far as I know rims that are manufactured with externals are legal.

Thats what I am led to believe too. I don't even think an engineer will sign off on drilled rims too. But yeah. Rims made with locks from the factory, are o.k.

Ah, so even though running the internal beadlock can improve the footprint of the vehicle in soft situations it is illegal if a hole has been drilled. I have had a quick look for rims with the two done at manufacture. Surely it wouldn't be too hard for them to be factory engineered, would it?

I still think it is state dependant but if if the wheel is manufactured as a bead lock and has adr approval then its legal as said above.

If you find some steelies with the second hole drilled from factory let me know. As I like the idea of internal bead locks.
