Thanks Mike.  I am hoping that the most common issue I would suffer would
be a flat, so I'm trying to secure a spare so that I can change a tire on
my own if needed.  My original spare has a blown out tire that cracked
after sitting too long and the rim is probably too rusty to hold air
anyway--it was the best of my original wheels and the only one I kept.

Speaking of that, does anybody have a spare rim/tire in the San Jose area
or know of somebody who could sandblast my old rim?
