Smile Re: pic: Wheel problem.

Just to clarify what happened last year in elims in Atlanta last year had nothing to do with hub disintegration. As a matter of fact, the hubs withstood the defensive attack from a robot that got under our frame with a side hit placing tremendous lateral load on the wheels, breaking the spokes as well as one of our drive chains. If the mods weren't done as outlined, these lateral loads would have disintegrated the hubs. The loads just got transferred to the next weakest link. In any event, the information was presented to help others solve a potential problem with the wheels as shown in the photo. Use or discard the information as you see fit.
