wheel fatigue
last week i was riding around and i seen the wheel was wobbling and thaught my lug nuts were loose like they tend to do from time to time... so i went down to check out the situation... come to find out the wheel was cracked and the wheel was split on the inside.. i called carter and they acknowledged that they have had problems with the wheels during their manufacturing process... so i welded washers on the inside and outside of the wheel and grinded the welds down... and cut the weld on the inside of the wheel and basically cut the wheel in half and then welded 2 passes around the wheel and grinded it down... so now it should hold up... let me know what yall think...

WoW! Some heavy jumping going on or just regular use? That's really kinda scary if you think about it.

carter said that it could possibly break the center of the wheel out and could possibly send you into a violent roll.. believe me rolling sucks...
