Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, he or she will instantly cease to receive these Fund Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple. Don't you wish PBS worked that way! :-) I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List sites. If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!! http://www.matronics.com/contribution Thank you!

I am going to get new 400x6, 6 ply tires with matching tubes from Des ser. It is my understanding that these tires will fit the rims as well as t he Allegro wheel pants. It seems that the wheels for the main gear have spl it rims. I have never changed a tire on a split rim. Must I remove the enti re wheel from the gear, or simply deflate the tire and remove the outer par t of the split rim leaving the inner part togather with the disc brake asse mbly still bolted to the gear? I would appreciate some advice and counsel f rom someone who has done this disassembly and re-assembly. Many thanks! - Hugh McKay Allegro 2000 Rotax 912 UL N661WW ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:41:51 AM PST US From: Brian Carpenter Subject: Re: Allegro-List: Wheels Hugh, I have the Dresser tires they seem to work well. Deflate the tube. Take out the several studs.. 7mm I think.... Just take off the outer part of the sp lit rim... May require a little force to get the tire off the rim.. remove old ,,, add new, maybe a little baby power.... replace your all set...

That's a good time to clean and inspect everything related to the wheel, axle, brakes, etc. Here are some good instructions on tire changing. http://www.stausaonline.com/aircraft-tires/mounting.html Use lots of talc when assembling and make sure the tube doesn't have a pi nch or fold somewhere. It's an easy project and is fun knowing the money that you're NOT spendin g having somebody else do it. ...Brad Allegro 2000, N221FA Bismarck ND -----Original Message----- From: Hugh MCKAY III [mailto:hgmckay@bellsouth.net] Sent: Tuesday, November 3, 2009 09:29 AM Subject: Allegro-List: Wheels I have an Allegro 2000 that needs the tires and tubes replaced on the mai n gear.
