Think about this during a high speed turn...all that is keeping the
inside radius tire/wheel on is the C-Clip
Think about how much area is in contact to hold all that force from
cornering...all that force is on the grove to C-Clip in these pic's


That is about 1/16" or maybe 1/8" on the C-Clip. Not full circle either,
as the C-Clip has an open area to allow it to slide onto the axle
Lucky that it does NOT have differential RPMs between those mating
surfaces
Just the traction pulling the tire/wheel...therefore the axle against
the C-Clip.
How much force do you think there is?
