I want to know if wood can be used as a spindle material?
What kind of wear characteristics does wood have on a tire? I'm wondering how many miles you could get on a roller before it would have to be replaced.
I would imagine the wood would wear a lot quicker than other drive spindle materials. But with the cost a person with a drill press and a wood lathe could crank out a bunch for very little money. You could also get creative and put some traction grooves on the roller fairly easily with the right tools. The amount of wear on the tire should be less than a steel roller too.
