Thanks Steve, The same thing happened with my Euc so I picked up some really dense foam from an automotive upholstery shop and made my own. I will be making some up for this for sure as it will be a lot heavier. These rims are way larger than a 2.2 and the bead is really stretched on there so I don't think they will go anywhere providing the foam holds the weight.

I plan on making it look like it uses those to hold it together but I probably should have drilled the outter holes further out toward the bead. That would have left me more space to put something there.

Thanks guys!
