Staun bead locks look simply like some material and an inner tube. How come they cost so much?
At first glance, we agree, but theres a lot more there than meets the eye. Most products are labor intensive which accounts for the bulk of the production costs. Surprisingly, our bead locks are just the opposite. Over two-thirds of the cost is in the material even though it seem like just cloth. Due to the construction, there is a great amount of material wastage. Further, there are three types of very heavy, wide webbing that are specially made for us, and that too runs the cost up. Look at it this way: Its about the same price as a mechanical bead lock and more than twice the product! It locks both beads and gives you a limp flat capability.
