Would like to.  A previous K Cup race there remains a favorite of mine and =

We were on TR6 wheels by then and breaking 1 or 2 at every event.  And that=
 was on bias tires.
btw, the pic of the wheels you have for sale look very much like my second =

take 'em in a flash.

I dont think I've seen a tractor TRiumph on wire wheels since Don Brick =
retired many years ago.
And, before that several of us had tried to convince him to get at least =
some TR6 steel wheels if not old looking style Panasports or similar.

I will join others that encourage you to not run wires.  But, if you must, =
check each and every one of the 72 spokes at least every day of competition=
 look for loose or broken ones.  They were not designed for modern tires.  =
Get a very small tack hammer and play them like a piano tuner.  If one is =
loose it will not ring as it should

btw, even TR6 steel wheels arent the perfect answer.  We started cracking =
them on "modern" tires 20+ years ago.  And tires have only gotten stickier =
- if that's a word

Mike Jackson - 35th year in the same old TR3
