We had zero failures thus far and have not changed the wheels since build season. We fully intend to improve on this initial design to reduce some machine time and run Colson wheels next year if they work in our design/strategy.

Feel free to ask more questions.

You could probably drill those bigger to save some weight. All you need is a little step to hold the outer race of the bearings. Overall they look good though. Do you knurl them?
