Re: HiGrip wheel

Our Team was in two Regionals one at Medera, CA, Central Valley Regional and the last in San Jose, Ca, Silicon Valley Regional. Our 6' HiGrip KOP Wheel worked great in the first regional. While we at the second Regional the Janksters, Team 1976 reported that they had a wheel failure and ask us to borrow a wheel. However, we did not have a spare wheel. We took a look at our wheels and fould a broken spoke on a rear wheel. Upon further investigation we noticed the wheel was split across the tread. We did not have enough time to change this wheel until the next match. Thank you 2144 for giving us a wheel. The Janksters broke two wheels at SVR. I will not use these wheels next year.
