Just a reminder here. YOU are they only scrutineer that is really likely to
see these signs. Tech inspecters rarely have time to do more than make sure
you have 4 wheels, let alone check every spoke for signs of fatigue. It is
true that my guys HAVE found things like this. I am frequently amaized by the
potential problems that Bob Williams and his crew catch do catch. However,
the only tech inspection that really counts is the one you do in your garage
before each race.
Now I'll let someone else tell you what the signs are.
