I doubt that most have done the math. And a cantilevered wheel on a 1" x 2" aluminum frame member that has been skeletonized makes me leery of the durability. Obviously it depends on the amount of stick-out, but I was surprised at the twisting forces we encountered when using full 2" x 4" x 1/8" box aluminum. Your results may vary.
