NEW Integral Bushing and Stud Shaft DualVee® Wheels
August 1, 2005 - Pittsburg, CA - Bishop-Wisecarver Corporation announced today the introduction of the DualVee® Integral Bushing (BWI) and Stud Shaft (SWI) wheels.

o Lower profile and increased rigidity resulting in up to 84% less deflection
o Larger diameter fasteners resulting in up to 25% greater torque (holding) capability
o Less tolerance stack-up
o External adjustment and tightening
