Looks like its going to be pretty good. All except the evil little DCD... The one I had came loose and twisted into the spokes, writing off my wheel. A useful tip though: if you wrap electrical tape around the roller it will prevent the chain from wearing grooves into it

 

[Azonic DS1]

Good tip, i'll try that

i had exactly the same problem, but mine was cuz i didnt tighten it up enough when i had last fiddled with it.

Cool little bike

(and my DCD ended up with grooves from chain wear )

How about a bit of 700c innertube cut to the width of the roller and stretched over Prevents grooves and makes things a little quieter.

I guess its whatever you have lying about. I can imagine the innertube would be quieter but the electrical tape didn't seem to wear at all

700c? Whats that, a size?

 

[S8-Tom]

Road bike tubes are 700c

Cool frame Thats going to be an ace build once you get all the parts you need to finish.. Keen to see it complete.

you should try and maybe reproduce the moves in the original pics once it's done!
