I have a set of single beadlock fronts and on one of them a beadlock nut pulled through after changing tires. Any warranty on that?

bet not

Big bucks down the drain

I hope so cause it wont seal off with that one bolt missing. Its like it seized to the nut and when i turned it the whole thing turned inside the wheel and i thought it was loosening but i knew i been turning an awful long time and then i saw it had came through the wheel.

retap it and put a slightly larger one threw

i think he means like it broke through fromt the carbon fiber.

Arent they like 3 peice wheels? Just buy a new peice

it would depend on the damage... if you stripped the threads.... its your fault... it wouldnt be covered under warranty....


but youll need to contact hiper and show them the problem

The threads didn't strip it was seized to the nut and spun the nut inside the wheel until it pulled through.

yea, like the anchors pulled out

Yeah exactly, really pissed me off honestly cause thats the first time I've put a wrench on them, just my luck though.

what do you mean siezed?? sounds to me like the bolt had been crossthreaded when installed.... if so, it would get real tight, and it would pull the nut loose... that would make sense to me.... either way, it was install error if it was cross threaded

I'm assuming that he means seized as in corroded...... could be wrong though.

This happened to a buddy of mine (no, he did not install incorrectly), but he ended up having to buy a new half because the Hiper's he bought were used.

No, they were installed properly. The nut seize to the bolt over time. How much is a front half cause i'm getting no where fast and i need it fixed.

i find it hard to believe.... i ran a set of hipers for a full year trail riding... it would sit muddy for weeks at a time.... when i dismounted tires, the bolts all came right out.... i really have a hard time believing that it rusted in there.

again, you need to contact hiper about any possible warranty.... when your on the phone with them... they will be able to give you pricing on a replacment half as well.

You find it hard to believe, yet stranger things have happened.... things corrode over time and theres no explanation why it seized but it did and it wasn't cross threaded. I cut the head off to get the ring off and took 2 pairs of vice grip and some tri flo with teflon and got the remainder of the bolt out and the threads were fine on the bolt and inside the nut.

i belive new halfs are about 55 bucks, at least thats what the inner half of my front cost when i cracked it, and the outer half of my rear cost when the nut pulled out just like yours.

That isn't too bad, thanks man.

I had one do this as well, i think all the water and mud gets in there over time. I always use a torque wrench as well. No i started using anti-sieze compound to keep it from happening again.

Yeah i'm going to use anti seize aswell.

I had 4 seize in one wheel. Happens all the time woodward. Brass inserts corrode. Should be $55 plus shipping. I see Hiper has been very actice in there new section.

Yeah man I've noticed too. Thanks hiper.

Yeah, this is a common thing. and using anti-seize compund wil really help. Hiper is actually really good about taking care of issues like this. Actually when i bought my last set, i was told they had a 1 year no questions asked warranty. no questions asked, literally. i broke a bolt of in one of mine, hey sent me the replacement before i sent them my half, so i could ride until i got it.

I broke the inside half of my wheel in 3 places, on both rear wheels. with 7 pounds in each wheel..

My wheels were 3 months over the warrenty period, but I did convince them to replace both halves for me.

Just give them a call and talk to them, they may help you out

i have had SEVERAL sets of Hipers and its happened several times. ALWAYS USE ANTISEIZE compound on the bolts, i put lots on and dont have many problems anymore.

glad someone had better luck than me. I moved about this time last yr, ordered some blue front rings, they got shipped to my old address on file, end of story, i paid for 2 sets of rings, never again will i buy anything from hiper. i personally think you are better off going with a strong aluminum wheel. i like the looks of hipers, but way overpriced. just my opinion though.
