20" carbon wrap wheel
A few years ago i picked up a nice 20" wheel that had "aero spokes but seemed a tad twisty for a cl 5 front.
after a few near misses at kingston due to air getting under my solid wheel i thought id have a go at a bigger wheel that ahd holes to stop the frisbee effect.
this wheel has lots of gaps in the spokes so the first step has been to fill the gaps with polyeurathane foam

then file back lightly witha rasp and 150 grit paper. this took about 4 goes as you have to very gently squirt it out rather than a big rush

then the spokes were cut out from the roll of carbon i bought recently with the money saved on reall low fuel prices in Sa an across the Nullabor. most expensive fuel was kalgoorlie!

first side has been laid on , just need to cureand sand , lay up second side. and then some thin strips on the seams.

the idea on this wheel is to stiffen the spokes which felt just too light for the front of a 5. It has gor me thinking of how to mould an entire wheel tho
the finished wheel will be heavier than one of my 20x2" flat series wheels, but hopefully will help with the flying front end issue on walyungup
