[MDairheads] tire mounting

[Brian Kirchhoff]

I used to use Cycles of Silver Spring when I lived down there. I have had
nothing but good experiences with them.

For those of you who were with us during Techno-Barn a few years ago when
we installed new Heidenaus on my /6 — that experience and the (2?) ripped
tubes while trying to install them was when I decided that tire changes,
especially with tubes, are best left to someone who is not me. :-) Several
of us fought those tires for hours!
