Dan,
I wanted to add some observation here. After two weeks of inspections, the teams that had problems with vibration were using small wheels designed for a much slower speed. As they brought them up to get near to the 12M/s speed rule, they would vibrate. Typically this was the 4" diameter vs. 6" diameter wheel chair type wheels.
