I have some old wheels that just wont hold air for long. Too many rock bashes with mini bends in the bead. Ive tried to form them round again but its a useless endeavor. Thinking about putting tubes in them.

A friend of mine cautioned me saying its possible for the tube to slip inside the tire and break the valve stem. Then, poof, no air and no way to refill.

Has this happened to anyone? Opinions on using tubes please.

I talked to the local repair shop guy. He`s mostly against it too. Says if done, you have to put more air in them to keep the tube tight in the wheel so it doesnt slip. I want to do this on the fronts of my 86 Suzuki LTF230 but the suspension on this is poor and lower tire pressure helps. Shop guy also mention fix a flat but its nasty when changing tires. I think if I ever change tires on this, I`d go get new wheels too. Leaning towards the goo method.

(and why doesnt the apostrophe key work on this website?)

      I just bought a rare beast!
      By kawasig
      Hello All
      I'm kinda new to ATVs. I just bought a 1987 Suzuki quad runner 230 Dual Range. I'm having a problem finding info on it. It's very clean, only 2.800 miles. The front wheels are only 30 in.center to center. I was thinking about adding wheel spacers to give it more stability. I realize the added stress on ball joints and bearings. I'm wondering if there are any other concerns? Any input is greatly appreciated!

      By prdicon
      I was looking to buy a new ATV. 
      I was debating between Polaris sportsman 450 and Honda rancher.
      Polaris it a bit cheaper.
      But can you tell me which one will have more demand on the used market? Which one will keep it's value better?
       
      Let's say 3-5 years from now.
