I've had the idea in the back of my mind for a while now, but it's refreshing to find that somebody else had already dove in and lived to tell about it, especially pointers.
Glad to see you're still active too, would you be up for a couple of questions?
How has your original disc held up? How many miles have you put on it and has it stayed true? Did you ever make your second disc going for weight reduction base on what you learned with the first?
I used it as a "beater" disc last year - just something fun and different to ride on. Not much for miles though I think. I got a set of near new HED 6/9 that I have on the CR901 at the moment. The disc is lumpy. If I were to do again, I would delete the foam completely and use balsa wood as the filler (ie a hollow wheel) then perhaps a real carbon top sheet layer to keep that all in place. Or even a fiberglass. Polyester resin would work nice. I have done a few projects recently with fiberglass.
Disc wheels - as in a good used are rare and hard to find. I've never been able to buy one. I paid almost $1000 for a worn in Zipp/flat disc years ago. This DIY one rides smoother to be honest, but it is heavier. So to make a usable training disc out of a wheel I was going to toss is a bonus really. Makes the project worth it.
