Hey,

Since a Wichita Region FV driver got hurt really bad when a spindle 
broke, I did some checking at our race at Hallett last weekend and found 
out that FV spindles breaking is a *major* problem with the road racers. 
Enough that Lisa Noble is probably going to the Comp Board to make wheel 
tethers mandatory on FV.

My question is if anyone has had the same problem with their Solo Vee? 
The fix is relatively easy on the left side, but I'm hesitant about 
drilling a hole through the axle on the right side.
