What's the difference between single and double?

Single is just the front of the wheel double is both sides.

I know that but is there any difference in the way they perform? Do you need the clamping on both sides? I've always used screws but I just got new wheels and I don't want to drill them.

On my last set from Larry Hodge we bead locked the front and knurled the rear so they won't go anywhere. I don't see any way the back can move on a single ,but I'm not running the horsepower to worry about it. Big hp guys probably need double's.

Good information. That will save a few bucks also.
Thanks

How much weight does a single beadlock add to the wheel?

I looked on the Champion site and I think it said 3 lbs.
