Well as many of you may or may not know, I joined this forum looking for information on carbon fibre wheels. This was to aid in my dissertation to design and test a set of carbon fibre after-market wheels, making them as light and strong as possible. After 6 months of work I managed to design a set of 17", 10 spoke 2-piece wheels, they have an overall weight of 5.1Kg. The links below are to my final design. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
