Reply to "Hall pantera wheels w/wheels spacers?"

Depending on what Hall wheels you own, you could justify new ones easily if your curent assemblies are the three-piece bolt-together Ultras. These wheels are infamous for breaking the tiny bolts that hold the assemblies together or splitting the inners or outers around the bead, resulting in instant deflation. The last case was about 10 months ago in N. CA. 3-piece Ultras are RACING wheels and should be x-rayed each year before use. There are no spares; Gary is gone and the shop that made them for Hall in the '80s is also gone. Evod Industries in So-Cal can spin you better-than-new rim halves if you send them the broken parts. The new halves will come back stamped "NOT FOR ROAD USE- RACING ONLY" and they will not be cheap, but at least you'll get to find which one lets go next... usually one of the wide, heavily loaded rears. Keep your seat belts cinched tight and carry a cell phone.
