Re: pic: Whoops! Too much torque

Team RUSH had a couple wheels go like that during the past season, those bumps were pretty rough, but we did add reinforcements to them by cutting pieces of what I believe was 1/16" aluminum and placing them between each set of spokes.

I don't fully understand what you mean by side-loading, so I'm not sure if that's the same as this, but I think the general belief is that our failures were due to the forces of impact on the wheels when they hit the ground.
