Re: Improving the KOP Skyway wheels

Our breakage was a result of the wheels coming off the ground and slamming back down. It seemed like after a few hot/cold cycles from shipping they became brittle. Until 2005 we hadn't had as big an issue. This caused us to look at alternatives and we used the IFI last year which were great after me made a few changes to them. For 2007, well that's TBD. We plan on comparing IFI v2, Colson, and something I'm not sure even we can make work.
