Hey,
Building my third set of wheels for this bugger, and Buchannans wants to
know what width rim I want to use. I am going with 21" modern alloy
motorcycle rims, and sounds like there are a few options. Does anyone
remember the width of theirs?

I would go wider (like Jack did) if I had it to do over...
My rims are 1.85" wide and the tires are about 3" wide. And with air,
they are almost exactly 26" tall.

Mine are the same as Jim's and I would have to agree that a little more width would
be nice. I went with the 1.85 because I was concerned about finding a tire
for a 21-inch rim that is wider then the common 1.85 rim. You might want to
drop down to a 19-inch rim like Mike Cuy and Don Emch. I think there are more
tire choices for that size.

| Subject: | Autogas vs.Avgas |
I run an FBO at Marlboro Airport in Massachusetts. I work very hard at
encouraging my customers to get past the emotion of the price
differential between autogas and avgas. When you look at the total cost
of operating an airplane, if the price of avgas were cut substantially,
the difference in the bottom line cost would be trivial. In addition,
many have discovered that autogas, with or without ethanol, has been
known to damage fuel system components. And, it goes bad over time. I
make good money in a side business repairing outdoor power equipment.
Every fall, I get a long line of snowblowers that won't start because
they were stored over the summer with autogas in the system and the carb
is all gummed up. Of course, all Pietenopol owners drain their fuel
system for the winter. For my part, all of my outdoor equipment gets
put away with avgas in the system during the off season. Avgas was
developed for use in airplanes for a reason. Use it, reap the benefits
of using it, and forget the additional cost.
Just my opinion.
