The tire shop that I used came highly recommended. They said "SURE we can
handle wire wheels." Five flat tires and four broken spokes later,
I think I should have done it myself. To be honest, I've tried to do
it myself, but I kept trying to break the bead with the irons that
came with Milou. When I finally resorted to the jumping up and down
technique (Well, I wasn't trying to break the bead, but what the heck? :-) )
I failed to try breaking it on the other side, so I made no progress.
To be fair to the tire place, the flat tires ended up being due to
a raised label inside the Pirellis that was abrading the tube. It took
them a while to figure it out, because we all assumed it was due to
bad taping of the spokes.
