Solid 4130 insert designed to fit rear wheel bearings in a front wheel. I can attest definitively that the wheel is strong enough to not CAUSE a ground loop due to premature failure. I did ruin a wheel because of a ground loop. The ground loop occurred at touch down because of a rudder pedal, front seat landing, issue, on pavement. As aggregious as a ground loop gets. Honestly, I'm glad the wheel failed before the gear legs, much easier to replace. And despite a very comprehensive failure, it stayed intact enough to keep the axle off the ground. I think they are the 2.15 x what ever 40 spoke 1999 and earlier soft tail front wheels.
