Did you talk to Velomobileworld before cutting the boom? It looks like you may have weakened it by doing so. If cutting away the boom is the only solution, I'd say that's either a design flaw or something was not assembled correctly.

I let them know but there was no way around it either i cut it or the chain was gonna grind thru it. Not like i can return it to velomobile world for them to fix it. They said they would get back to me on why it rubbed and if it will hurt anything but cutting away that area i sent them a pic. But Ben Parke showed me a pic of his and his had a curve cut into it from the factory mine was straight i beleive they may have cut the curve on the wrong side or forgkt to cut the curve om the drive side cuz it was curved on the other side. But no idt it compromised the strength. Claire told me she had to do the same thing to her bülk and grind away that part there same exact spot. So far waiting on a response from velomobile world on several issues im having. But its not the boom itself its like the sides of the battery tray where its kind of thick carbon but uts just a flat peice. But it didnt seem to affect the strength when riding i pushed pretty hard and it didnt creak, flex, or crack. Either way it was necessary and theres no other option. If its structural then they need to rethink their design.

Just got a video from Jan he said its ok to cut there cuz it gets most of its strength from the vertical pillar and that peice is for the battery tray really.
