Re: Improving the KOP Skyway wheels

I'll admit that I don't pay too much attention to these things, but has breaking these wheels been a problem for a lot of teams? This is the only time I've heard or seen of them breaking.

How were they connected to the drive?

In the past, we've cut wedges that fit into three of the six pockets on each wheel -- on both sides -- then bolt a sprocket to those wedges. This spreads the load out along the whole spoke and we've not once had an issue with the wheels doing anything they're not supposed to do.
