[Healeys] Innertube Question

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

Jack:  Les Schwab has repaired and/or replaced a few of my inner tubes in 
three cities on the west coast.  Interesting situation on a recent visit - 
after dealing with the local outlet and having had tire/tube work done 
there, one of the 'associates' told me that they don't do wire wheels.  He 
was misinformed.  It is true, however, that they do not have the proper cone 
to do the wheel balancing.  One time they tried by reversing the cone on the 
balancing machine.  It seated on the spokes leaving nicks in the paint on 
the spokes.  After I realized what happened, I checked the balance on my 
home bubble balancer.  They were surprisingly close to balanced.
