Default Beadlocks.

Looking for some Bealocks what's your flavor. Me personally I like the Spyder locks but keeping my options open.

I had ATX Slabs and now have Trailready. I only switched because of an axle change (bolt pattern). I liked the Slabs and the TR so far are good also. The Slabs were heavy compared to the TR. If I had to pick one, I would say the TR.

I've had ATX slabs, and Trail Gear creeper locks. Both were well made, durable, but extremely heavy. I like how the new trail gear headlocks have the beadlock ring sectioned so you can replace individual pieces if you mess them up too bad. I preferred the recessed bolt heads on the Slabs

I have the ATX Slabs and love them with the exception they hold water, which most beadlocks do with the exception of the KMC Machete's which have slots in the rock ring to allow water to drain.

For what it is worth Spyderlock and ATX Slabs are the same wheel with a different rock ring. In fact the silhouette on the outside of the ATX Slab box is the Spyderlock rock ring.

I do wish all beadlocks had that feature. I forgot how much of a pain it was to keep water/mud etc out.

Hey TD,
I noticed you're in CO, so if you go Hutchinsons I have a pair I'm taking off of a trailer in great shape that I'm selling and would save you $200+.
