Agreed! My Mayflower has a wheel similar to that of the TR2/3/3A. When I got
it, there was no plastic left on the rim, but someone had carefully wrapped
the rim with a couple layers of thin cotton rope/cord. Not the most
comfortable
grip in and of itself, but with a nice cover it was just fine and hard to
distinguish at quick glance from any other wheel. ;-)
