I assume that you're referring to the little bump up on the drawing. I've never seen an ETRTO definition of that area. BTLOS mentions it as a bead lock. I've never scrutinized mine that closely. Last edited by Dave; 06-05-2024 at 04:17 PM. |

Correct -- The bead retention ridge "B height" in case of sudden deflation it helps keep the bead on the shelf rather than slipping into the central valley. Image attached from my files, and I don't have the original site. ETRTO manual is copyrighted, and IIRC quite costly. At the risk of conflating bead retention ridge with TSS, the ridge can be seen in Zipp and Enve wheels:

My rear tire was getting thin and I had a little cut self-seal yesterday, so I put a new rear tire on my hookless BTLOS wheel. That wheel had a bead lock bump, but it was more pronounced on one side. I placed the end of one of my machinist rules along the shelf to even see it. I wouldn't depend on something so tiny to be of much benefit. If feel or hear a puncture, I'm stopping immediately.
I got some new Pirelli P-Zero Road TLR tires for $55 each recently and put a 35mm on the rear. It measured 35mm wide on my 25mm IW hookless rim. I expect that it will stretch out to 36 after some use. Installation was easy. |

Inconsistency in the manufacturing is an opportunity for learning. How much more effort does the bead on side with the ridge require to push into the center channel? The ETRTO tolerance is 621.95 ± 0.5 mm, so not much of a ridge is needed.
