thanks to all for the information on the tire wheel thing. i was able to find an old timer to change my 7 tires/rims. i got 7 new ones from nebraska tire and the rims were sandblasted, painted and reinstalled with new tubes and flaps. my question is should i add a puncture proof slime to the tubes? it was somewhat difficult to get them changed and if i could prevent any future flats, that would seem like a good idea. what are the risks involved in that stuff?
