Default Gee Bee question

I'm studying the Gee Bee series of planes and I have a question that
may be obvious to you, but not me. I know that flying wires are
supposed to be dual for safety purposes. The flying wires on the
outboard part of the wing ( Gee Bee R2 and Z models ) are dual, OK. I
am assuming that the load of these wires goes through the landing gear
strut and back up to the fuselage where it is anchored and therefore
is where the actual load is transferred from. But the wire from the
inboard part of the landing gear strut to the fuselage is only a
single wire. Am I missing something?

Neal
