19 - FRONT WHEEL In conjunction with the rear wheel, the front wheel is also held in place with one long through bolt. The wheel can be turned around as well. The wheels on a speedway bike look like a pedal bike design and are actually very similar in their make-up. Finely tuned spokes keep the wheels straight and aligned. The spokes as on pedal bike, come through the wheel and are tightened to the required torque to align it. It sounds easy, but a true wheel is only produced by an experienced wheel expert!
