Clarification casted wheels

After some discussions and following questions the group behind the Swedish rule book got togheter and came up with a small clarification of the rule. The groups ambitions are to include as many as possible but also make sure that the rules set only reflects on fair racing as well as the safety of the riders.

Basically casted wheels should be covered but the reason is that you should not be able to get a feet or a hand in between the spokes. The Norweigans took example from the Nora rulebook and now the group decided on following their example which says that casted wheels with six or less spokes should be covered. By this clarification most of the riders with casted wheels will be able to continue racing with theese wheels without any cover.

The change of the rule is already done and it looks like this: (only in Swedish)
