No offense Jer but if you had the original split rings I’d trade you & put them back on 😀 But then I’d have to make more wheel spacers or get a new rear axle…forget it!
It just makes me sad seeing modern wheels on these great old classics when they’re there for a reason & they’re safe.
I know someone that died installing a tire…it was a standard rim though…not split ring. 16.5 onto a 16 by accident.
Accidents happen if you’re not careful however I’ve never heard of anyone hurt installing a split ring properly.
