Re: pic: Wheel 4 V1.2

Craig is talking about the wheels his team built I believe 2 seasons ago that he linked to on this thread. Those wheels have a .5" radius where the spokes meet the rim. This absolutely strengthens the wheel in side impacts and can be verified by a quick FEA analysis. Adding this inner radius is a simple way to increase wheel strength without much extra work.
