I was installing a new limiter strap bracket and noticed my front wheels had some cracks in the aluminum . Lucky I got down and looked, so then I started inspecting all my wheels, the other side was the same. So I guess I need to get some new wheels in the morning. Im heading out tommorow in the later part of the afternoon. I dont need those wheels flying apart in the mountains. They must be too thin.

Lucky, I wish I could find issues like that at home. I usually find them on the hill. lol

Im sure glad I did find them there, as I may have lost the wheels and damaged somthing, it would work without those wheels anyway. It just chokes me a bit cause they are not cheap either. I am contacting the company who made them to let them know, think its too thin.

Sad but true. Good catch Ron, what kind of wheels are those? Hopefully they step up and do something for ya.

One work for aftermarket wheels. CARBON FIBER

Hey Ron them there wheels are cracking cause their on a Poo.....cough cough...ummm I mean a Doo.....lol .
Maybe the track isn't running quite straight and putting some side pressure on those wheels causing them to crack. Just my if the manufacturer won't warranty them.

Another vote for carbon fiber. I ran a 2 wheel set up last winter, and had no problems. I put on a lot of km's last year as well.

And I'm putting Composite (plastic) on this year, wil know the results later.

I would guess that those cracks are not a big deal... Why? Because they are between the "spokes" and that material is generally milled out of any other type of wheel (automotive etc.) I would guess that those cracks will not comprimise the integrety of the wheel as the spokes take all the force / energy. If the spokes were cracking that would be a different story?

Those cracks obviously have occured due to extreme cold, ice, stress etc. on material that was milled too thin... Kind of what is going to happen to a lot of the parts on the Doo XP... Ooops... did I say that out loud???
