YES, be sure to remove stikers inside of tires. Mfr says nothing bt there have been lots of messages about that. I use Snyders tubes. I checked with them by phone and they said their tubes were OK. bILL

I have had my 5 new rims for two seasons on Maine country roads with no problems. I also use radial tires.

M '29 has safety glass and Vintique clamps. I did use a drop of super glue to hold rubber in clamp and a nother drop to hold rubber to glass. That was in 2013 and I've never had a problem in 13,000 miles of drivng. Bill
