Screwiing Tires to Wheels

Recently mounted tires that required me to use tubes. Looking for pics or possibly a measurement from the wheel edge to location of screw.

I would think you'd want to do it only on tubeless, screws can make a bad day for the tubes pushed against the tire bead . . .

you need to measure how thick the bead is and how thick the bead seat is on the rim, add the 2 measures together, and go buy self tappers that aren't too long. Use blue loctite on the screws and tighten them in until the head touches the rim and then an additional 1/8 turn. I usually use around 25 screws for a 15inch rim,

and remember screws are in no way an alternative to bead locks, (since I don't know what the application is for)  :)

The big negative to rims screws is dismounting and remouting the tires.  Not really a friendly thing to do to the bead.  But, they work.

If you have tubes, why do you want rim screws?
In need of a yank strap?  PM me... I have 'em!

the rim will spin inside the tire and tear the tube, had this happen on our rail at silver lake running paddles with tubes
