I took them out at my first ever tyre change, and threw them as far away as I could, you don't need them! I believe you have made a good choice with your tyres, should be fine!

| Post subject: | H1 Bead protectors -I'm puzzeled |
Originally the H1 came with a bead protector on the rear rim - at least according to the parts list. On page 48, two bead protectors are shown, but the parts list says only 1 piece. I have an original Takasago rear rim. It has 3 holes in it. One for the valve on the inner tube, and two holes for two bead protectors ???? Questions: 1. Should I use one or two on my rear rim ? - I plan to mount Dunlop K81 4.10-18 Rear 2. Are they any good in 2017 ? 3. How about the front wheel ? |

You don't need them, and if you use one you will have a terrible imbalance. Use two or none. I've never seen a front wheel that uses them. |

If you remove them, you should plug the now vacant holes with a plug or possibly and button style allen head with the nut on the exterior side, just like the nut of the removed bead protector, to keep the inner tube from squeezing through the hole. |

The rim band and some good tape will take care of that!! |

I cut valve stems off old inner tubes and insert them where the bead protectors were. Then I use different color valve caps (black for bead protector substitutes, chrome for the functioning valve stem) so that I know which stem to use when checking the tire pressure. |
