Hi Gary,
Your Cascade Region seems friendly and progressive. Great website. I was part of the Mid-Atlantic region for awhile, created a website for the region but nobody logged in. Their meetings and activities were held in Maryland which was quite a drive for me so I gave up on the region. I have been encouraging the POC to create a stronger presence on the web to include the disconnected majority of members who do not have a local region. Basically an Internet Region but didn't get much buy in. OK so now I am basically going off topic.
As far as the wheels are concerned I also considered that the wood wheel thickness might be a tad to large. These were obviously respoked recently. There are a number of suggested solutions so I am sure a resolution is at hand.
Keep up the research everyone benefits from knowledge. That's why I created this website. I have received help from so many people over the years from web sites like this and your region's.
