I'll never understand how those wood spokes don't just snap in half the first time you turn a little too sharp.

The curb weight of a Model T is less than all but the lightest modern SxS and a wood spoked wheel is stronger than you'd think.

You might note the wheel are VERY NARROW. There is a reason for that! It allows the tire to sink down into and thru the mud to hit solid ground...
