So I went out to get some practice in today. Everything was going great until the 3rd lap. I came into a 4th gear sweeping left hand turn when the bead separated from my front right wheel. My rim dug into the dirt and sent myself and the quad cart-wheeling through the field. I taco-ed my tie rod and broke a hand guard mount. I'm fine just lots of missing skin.

Man it takes alot of sidewall force to pull the bead away you must have went into a dip or rut while in the turn? Glad you're ok. machines can be fixed

Thanks, jon. and everyone else. Yeah, I think it dropped into a rut. I'll tell you what, those Hipers are strong. Not a scratch on them...

[Pyetime]

Glad your ok! How much tire pressure were you running in the fronts?

 

[Redracer]

4.5 psi per tire, like always. I may have got a flat while riding, who knows...

 

[mud99]

They were pretty new tires weren't they?

 

[Redracer]

The fronts are about 2 years old

 

[mud99]

Oh, I was thinking you had got new tires LOL

 

[Redracer]

No the rears are about 1 year and the fronts are about 2

 

[tomgodd]

Sorry about the quad!

Well I reset the bead today and am going to try and find a leak. My sponsor, Aurora Honda is hooking me up with a new tie rod.
