[Nobbc] Spoke wire wheel

[andy preston]

Krissy, many tire shops won't touch wire wheels because of the potential for
damaging them, and many shops don't know how to correctly balance wire
wheels either.  IMO the best shop in the area, and the only one I use for
all my cars is Valley Tire and Brake on Piner Rd in Santa Rosa.  They know
how to mount tires on wires with tubes and balance them correctly.  The guy
I always speak to there is Eric.  He is extremely helpful and courteous, and
they don't mind doing little jobs either.  If they need to order a tube that
will take a couple of days.  No financial affiliation.

My Healey tire went flat in the garage and don't know where to take it in
around here (Windsor) to have it repaired.  I called Les Schwab and they
told
me to bring it in and they would look at it to see if they could repair it
but
I thought instead of wasting my time, I would email the group to see what is
recommended.
Thanks,

I'm working on Robin as we speak, Tim. I'll get back to you when he decides
if/how it fits into his schedule.
Sounds like we've got some interest in the event, so I'll get this scheduled
and notify the group soon.
Cheers,
Greg
