You guys are all giving good input. Mark and I both appreciate it. If these wheels are used again (which, I dearly hope they are), we will definitely improve the areas where they are weak. All of these modifications involve taking material away on the mold, which is not extremely difficult to do.

Making the web thicker is not very difficult... but making the rib and body bigger around the bearing is a bit more tricky. Our molder suggested some of the features you see in order for the wheel to be released from the mold easier. We will use a greater taper angle, I think, to help beef it up while still allowing for part release.

We'll bring spares to Atlanta.
