Thank you muchly Gentlemen.

Put on an "old" Nexen (and "old" rim), and "whump, whump, whump" went
away. Even to my worrisome ear, I really couldn't hear it.

Still need an alignment (I"m betting on toe in, but caster maybe too)
and brakes still bedding in somewhat, though they're grabbing better
and feeling less springy or UNgrabby.

Went on some really bumpy roads. No clunks, nothing fell off. <grin>

Really appreciate the help.

Neil.
