These wheels were printed by one of our sponsors, using much stronger material than we have here in the shop.

One of the other members has just informed me that the wheel hub held at 45 foot-pounds of torque, and failed at 60 foot-pounds, in our rather unscientific torque-wrench tests.

Our strategy this year does not involve 30-point climbs, so we are not as concerned about our wheels surviving a long drop.
