Re: pic: Ultralight Spoked Wheel

Andymark designs their wheels to be heavier because they need to be robust. They need to account for teams doing odd and out of spec things with them.

Assuming this is nominally a 4x1" wheel, this isn't an un-achievable weight with traditional machining methods.

Our 4x1" wheels we ran on "Black Knight" (Downloadable in sig) were about .25 lbs and could've been pocketed more. I know 254 runs wheels in this ballpark or lighter.
