[Healeys] Wire Wheel Question

[gary brierton]

I've had some "spoke breakage".  Always when the car was loaded with luggage 
for a long trip, always on the rears and always when I've "strayed" onto an 
Interstate in the Northeast marred by cavernous expansion joints .  I 
actually will NEVER drive an Interstate highway in Pennsylvania again! 
Regarding Dave's situation, if he really didn't check until after the trip, 
I suspect the wires broke in a sequence; after one goes, others usually 
follow.
As to replacement, 9 spokes calls for a pro with the required equipment and 
skill.     As many of you know, Hendrix Wire Wheel is the best place for 
wheel and tire service.  When he is done with your tires/wheels, your A-H 
will ride smoooooth!
