Hi Red, I'm sure there are plenty of stories out there, about
the DANGER of some of those old style of split rims.
Many years ago, a fellow was airing up an old split rim, and
the story in the paper described,
as gentle as they could, that
as he was down airing it up, the outer Ring Exploded off the
wheel, and killed the man instantly.
I heard, from people who were there, that it was Very Very Gory
.
