Even with Skier's example you've got to use the special valve stem to ensure the air stays inside.
I was basically just wondering if the stem of the beadlock is sealed.
my bad. i forgot you knew everything already. i bow down to you and your vast experience with beadlocks. It's so obvious you know what you're talking about
ps, the valve works just like on any regular rim. having a beadlock on a rim does not effect the air valve in any way.
