    A lot of mucking around to fit the internal bead lock. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJbAsemU6LU
    My advice is: not to follow my advice.

    Yeah I read that, then they say this. The only modification required is the drilling of an additional hole in the rim. The system will fit one piece steel and alloy rims

    http://www.secondair.com.au/howitworks.htm Secondair still requires a hole drilled. Edit, beat me to it.

    Love the pic of the bloke standing between the recovery rope.
    it looks real safe.
    lucky he has gloves on, that'll save him.

    Not sure about internal bead locks as well
    Internal bead locks were also common on many early British road bikes, before tubeless tyres.

    Bit of an old thread but I was interested to read about the inflatable bead locks. I looked at the Staun inflatable bead locks a number of years ago for use on a vehicle being supplied to the Australian Army and even went as far as getting one of our rims drilled for a second valve hole and having a Staun bead lock fitted as a concept demonstrator but we didn't end up going ahead with them. I can remember at the time thinking that surely it wouldn't be that hard to come up with a bead lock that had a single valve that was able to somehow "telescope" in and out to allow you to fill either the bead lock or the main tyre from the same valve. A while ago I saw that this concept has been developed for mountain bikes to allow them to run tubeless setups and they have implemented a single valve that can inflate either chamber (albeit a presta valve and not a schraeder valve). https://www.schwalbe.com/en/procore.html

    Pretty nifty piece of German engineering and it had me thinking that surely this concept could be pretty easily applied to a Schraeder valve on a 4x4 tyre??
