Did it cause any additional challenges?
Also, how are you attaching the carbon to the sheet metal?

First of thank you for the compliment.
The flanges are put outward so the weels can be removed easier. The chain guard is smaller this way and the weels cant get stuck behind the flanges when taking then out. Asside from that the chain has no way of getting stuck behind a flange.
The carbon is glued to the aluminum using a two component epoxy glue. The glue can take up to 10 N/mm^2 when hardend so there is no way that is comming off.
If you have any other questions please let me know!
