i built this roller from local hardware, little taiwanese ball-bearings for $3.50 ea, some thrust washers, bit of hardware & some heater hose. boy is it ever quiet!
a 5/8" length of heater hose is the rolling surface...overnight it was great, so i got a wild hair you-know-where & decided to fix the top chain-run's tendancy to "harmonize", it gets pretty squirrelly at 19-20mph. both dan and i have had chain damage because of this.
i grabbed a couple "brackets" and headed for the hardware store for more stuff
here's where i'm at right now, haven't even tried it yet
time to go back to jack's for a spring, more soon...i hope.
