Rion, when can we see the next version? I'm looking forward to seeing your progress!

I would love to give you another version. But I have gained no advice on which to change from this thread. I have made a slight change as adviced by RC to allow easier G Code via CAM. But other than that there have been no suggestions.

If you would like to see it you can find it here. Feel free to email me any suggestions you have.

Alan was correct, in that the small radius there doesn't really solve the problem Raul stated. If your spoke is too thing to handle the side load, a small radius really isn't going to fix the problem; and if that little bit makes the difference, your factor of safety is too low.

Please, try to learn to have a discussion on here without being rude and insulting people.

First. I would like to say that this could all be assumed as a huge lack of communication. While both sides are correct it seems that both have taken the defensive. I have not read either as rude; a little conceded maybe, but not rude. But I also do not see this going anywhere.

Second. His radii may help, but you are correct; they do not address the problem that Raul presented. It's because of the side forces that the wheel would have on it that I will not be making the wheel depth any smaller.

EDIT: On the note of the additional radii on the side, should I put those on there our would it make the production process to slow? If I should put them, what degree?
