Schumacher Stagger Ribs

[DCM]

How are we mounting them, I know about cutting the inner bead off the rim, but what about the tyre and do you need an insert?>

I never cut any ribbing off the wheels. All you need to do is trim the bead on the tyre down buy about 1.5mm so it fits the wheel nicely and then glue the outer bead only, leaving the inner one unglued.
Either that or trim the outer rib off the wheel so that the tyre bead sits properly. I feel that makes the front end have a little more grip overall but feels less precise.
If you dremel the staggers they will last longer too and have a bit more grip.

Noone I know runs inserts in them.

I had this same conversation with TomCock a few weeks ago. Mounted on narrow wheels with no insert.

And dremelled like this:

I mounted some up recently (on Kyosho rims) and didn't have to trim the tyre at all?

thanks a lot, so no insert and narrow rim, trim tyre bead to suit the wheel.

is there any reason behind all the dremmeling of the tyre?

I think it's to give them more bite, without them digging in like minispikes can.

I found standard ones pushed at Tally, I went to minispikes but I think I'll try dremmelling a set just to see too.
