Dayton Update

Dayton has clarified the wheel situation;

The wheels ARE tubeless style (a sealed rim) Dayton # kw16x6 d-3.38 72s as shown in previous pic.

It's a 16 x 6, knock off design using a hub adapter. Wires are stainless steel, the rim is "quad plated chrome" steel. The wires are alleged to never need adjustment, thus eliminating the most frustrating aspect of wire wheel ownership. ( the frustration of cleaning them still remains!)

Spinners can be either: 2 ear round or straight, or 3 ear and can have logos or not.

Tires will be 205 65 16 with a o.d. of 26.5 or 26.6 depending on manufacturer

Ruedi, I appreciate your confirmation of the incompatabiliity of tubes and modern tires.

David
