What you are seeking is the maximum moment of inertia for the minimum mass. This means that the mass should be concentrated in a ring at the outside diameter of the kickwheel. Picture a bunch of diving weights attached to the underside of a plywood disk, with the weights attached with wing nuts near the outer diameter of the disk.

Hey Jeanne:
Has anyone mentioned on this thread using a ring of common brick
sandwitched between two disks of plywood? The bricks, as Roger
explains, place the majority of the mass at the outer edge of the
kickweel and the disks of plywood allow for kicking close to the shaft
where kicking is much more comfortable. Well placed bolts will hold the
mess together. I think I might do that instead of pouring a solid wheel
of concrete. This idea was put forward to me by someone on the list.=20
