Re: pic: Team 1501 wheels

I'm looking at the wheels, and I'd guess they're 4" or so in diameter by the sprocket. Where did y'all get the end caps for them? They look different than the ones I've seen at Lowe's.
We got them at the local hardware store. They are a bit on the large size, so we take them down about .050"
Overall diameter is 5"

As for needing traction. I think it will play small part if you want to defend your 1 point goals. You may have to push back. Also getting up the ramp isn't going to as easy as some would think.
