  • DIY or DYI ?

  • this looks great, but what did you use for the rollers?

  • Like kds471, I have also copied your design. I have not concentrated on the same quality of build but it does work! Thanks very much. You have enabled me to build what I wanted and have some fun along the way. If you are looking for some resistance so you can "ride a few hills" have a look at what I have done with rare earth magnets on my rear roller.

  • Very Cool. What size are the rollers?

  • Comment removed

  • The construction looks super clean. Very sleek design. Hoping to make something like this for the rainy days that are starting up by my house.

  • Great design. Deceptively simple.

  • Great job!!! Do you have any still photos that you can post for us to see how everything fits together? I would really like to make one just like it.

  • What an AWESOME build!

    Bravo!

  • Thx! I couldn't pull the trigger on the oak so I went with poplar...hopefully frugality doesn't lead to failure!

  • @kds471

    The poplar should work just fine because the wheel wear is between the wheels and their axels.

  • @DonFrambach So far so good...thanks for the help!

  • You have inspired me to blatantly copy your ingenious design as I am partial to woodwork vs metal fabrication. I am curious to know how well yours has held up so far specifically the 1x stock holding the wheels... I am going with 6 wheels strategically placed close under the existing feet per your advice and was wondering if 8 wheels are indeed better.

  • @kds471 It's holding up fine. I did make it out hardwood (red oak).

  • Best design i've seen so far for home made free motion rollers

  • that's a beautiful setup.

  • This is incredible! Probably too crafty for me -- I'm going to go the "bolt wheels to the trainer" route, I think. Seems easier to me.

  • Very nice, neat and functional design. Thanks for sharing.

  • ingenious design, very clean!
