  4. Presta valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presta_valve

    A push-on diaphragm Presta chuck tends to push the valve stem in to the tire cavity, which slows down getting a good seal. It is thus common to secure the stem with a nut against the rim. However, the nut must be removed to change the tube, and removing the nut takes time, which is a disadvantage for racing.

    Tire bead is the term for the edge of a tire that sits on the rim. Wheels for automobiles, bicycles, etc. are made with a small slot or groove into which the tire bead sits. When the tire is properly inflated, the air pressure within the tire keeps the bead in this groove. Reducing tire air pressure is a frequent practice among off-road vehicle ...

  9. Beadlock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beadlock

    A beadlock or bead lock is a mechanical device that secures the bead of a tire to the wheel of a vehicle. Tires and wheels are designed so that when the tire is inflated, the tire pressure pushes the bead of the tire against the inside of the wheel rim so that the tire stays on the wheel and the two rotate together.
