I love this Justin!

Thanks, Julie!

Fantastic

Best DIY build i seen so far, very good quality result. Do you think there are any different bearings that are less noisy?

[@justinhoot2489]

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. Yes, I ended up upgrading the bearings in this to some quieter ones. If you wanted to spend the money you can buy bearings designed for low-noise environments, and it would make it much quieter.

even better than the super expensive garmin tacx ones

WOW!!!!!!! 😲🤨

[@skizzygd8358]

what type of belt did you use? i love the way you edit it! morw vids to come!!

[@justinhoot2489]

Thanks! I appreciate that. Yes, more videos coming soon hopefully. For the strap it is just a braided nylon flat rope, I think normally used for supporting young trees.

[@oliverdeasis5491]

pls. help me of what is the material will be using?

[@justinhoot2489]

Sure, I used aluminum square tube for the support rails, PVC pipe for the rollers, and various wood pieces. Anything else?

Dang! I was hoping it would be something I could do. Pretty cool nonetheless. A bit noisy and the Dremel was like going to the dentist! Eeeeek.

[@justinhoot2489]

Yeah, the bearings I used were the main cause of the noise. I got them from the discount bin at my local hardware store. A few months after I made the video I replaced the bearings with higher quality ones. It made a big difference. I encourage you to try and put something together, it doesn't have to be as complicated as mine 🤪.

It's late but please send specs to build.

[@justinhoot2489]

Hi, unfortunately I don't have any specs or plans for it. I wish you the best of luck if you decide to build one for yourself.
