Re: pic: Wheel problem.

When I saw that they suggested to tap the holes in the wheel, I did a quick comparison to last year's wheel rim. I strongly recommend using 8-32 1.25" UNC screws with washer, lock washer, and nut. The 8-32s fit perfectly through the holes and provide a much stronger connection to the gear/wheel then a tapped hole with short screws.
