concrete kick wheel?

I purchased a home-made kick wheel at a nice price, but the wheel is
wooded and is not heavy enough. I need to pour a concrete wheel to
replace the existing wooden one. If someone has done this or knows what
book to reference out of, the information would be greatly appriciated.

The wheel I have already mentioned has a concrete flywheel which I cast in
a plastic garbage bin (US Trans - Trash can) It worked well but I suspect
the wheel you have is a direct kick European kickwheel?

Email my directly if you wish to know more.



Best wishes
