Really interesting project. Maybe You'll find place for a Thermos/sandwich-holder, inside the frame, so You can store coffee and lunch in the Wheel. Am following this with interest. Regarding the weight, it appears a Little overkill to me, to use carbon-cloth, since the weight-addition will be negligible, related to glassfiber. And carbon, though very strong and rigid, is known to splinter, so.... But maybe You have other arguments for it. Happy Work with this project.
