| C O P Y. X526 Detachable Rims. Mr Barrington. 16/11/11. CJ9/D161111. Mr Oldham reports:- Technical Com. "Our experiences are "less bad" than hitherto. "We are never sure of the Vinet interchanging until we try them. "We find the Michelin good workmanship and always interchange, but sometimes do not balance. With the heavy Shrewsbury & Challinor we used to have trouble with faulty spokes and felloes, and still have some bother with the hub threads spoilt, and rims do not always balance. "Each of the above firms gives us great attention. "With several other makes we come across now and again there is usually more or less bother. For the information of the Technical Committee.
