While out in the slop last weekend (at 15psi), l had a problem with tyre rotation on the rim. End result is a punctured tube at the valve stem.

Talking to a few tyre guru's, it seems there is some 'glue' called beadsealer that is generally used on rusty rims etc.
I'm going to try and use this glue to seal the Simex JT2 bead to the new & shiny Dynamic brand rims l have just bought.

Have any of you guys tried using this product to prevent tyre rotation on the rim when running low pressures?

I thought about Silkaflex or silicone but am afraid to use in case l cannot break the bead in the bush. Silkaflex is amazing stuff!
No need to mention external beadlocks, secondairs etc as funds won't allow that.

On the more technical side, club mates running low pressures in tubeless tyres tend to break the bead rather than spin the rim inside the tyre. I wonder whether my tubes & glued beads will work better as there is a large bonded surface area and the bead is in a shear condition with a better resistance to peel due to the tube locating the bead on the rim. The tubeless guys are less likely to have good results as they are putting the bond into a peel condition.

Any thoughts.....................
