Sure. Catto props can also be installed using TSO C29dSo can I install a set of TSO'd C26d wheels on my certified Super Cub legally?
Mud and ice collectors. I’d like a close-up of the brakes.

These wheels and brakes are not TSO'd yet so they are available for Experimental cubs only !
Anyone on here a dealer, I am interested. PM me please
Floating disc? Cleveland abandoned that idea decades ago.....
The brake disk is to the rim of the wheel. The only rotational torque the spokes see is the drag of the wheel bearing.the only, initial armchair engineer issue that pops out to me, is the "spokes" are perpendicular... they probably need to be slanted to offset? braking action, tire spin-up not so sever.... interesting...
You are right they were Goodyears. It was so long ago that this idea was abandoned that I forgot who it was. The rims were pounded into expanding, the discs rattled, the retaining clips fell out and when the pucks wore down they fell out.Hard to tell from the photos but to me the discs don't look like they're floating, they appear to be bolted.
They do index into the wheels similar to the old floating Goodyear brakes which clipped into the wheel, ala 1940's Cessnas--
does anyone else remember walking around all hunched over looking for someone's clips that popped out?
Most probably don't know this but I was the first to put a 35" ABW on small airplane. At the time there were no wheels that would work so I machined my own, I eventually machined at least 10 sets for others from billet.
The price they are asking for the set up is very good, they can't be making much of a profit at that price.
My wheels where heavy except for a few sets I made for myself that I went crazy taking out weight. I have put my light weight wheels through a lot over the years and never had one fail. I don't care for the spokes for some of the reasons already stated and I don't think it is required to get the wheel light weight.
My wheel weighs 7 lbs not including bearings or bolts, it would be interesting to know how much that wheel weighs without hardware, what the weight savings is carving out the spokes. I like the solid face of my wheels.
I am not looking to machine wheels for anyone so this is not an advertisement for me to make billet wheels. It is a lot of work carving out all that aluminum, if I remember right it was around 55 pounds of chips per wheel half or over 220 pounds per set.
It would be nice to have a larger brake disc, I would run a set if they want to comp a set for testing. Maybe the spokes would have no issues with sand and dirt getting into them.

I've got one of those. Top quailty work!Most probably don't know this but I was the first to put a 35" ABW on small airplane. At the time there were no wheels that would work so I machined my own, I eventually machined at least 10 sets for others from billet.
