Need Someone's Help
I had a crazy revelation today while standing in the plumbing aisle at Ace Hardware. With about $30.00 in materials I can make a set of rollers with some pvc, basic plumbing fixtures, and scrap wood. What I need is the center to center measurements of the roller axles. In millimeters please:) I know the front needs to be adjustable for different bikes, that's what drills are for! This will be easily do-able. Chain drive between the rollers. Varished wood. Bubble level. Maybe a brass accent or two? You'll see it in all of it's glory as soon as I get it done. Later! Travel Gravel!

I've got a set of roller in my garage. You can measure them when you are here picking up the skis if one of us happens to be here.
Who...whooooo...who's the night owl tonight? Thanks, I'll be over sometime Tuesday before 2:00!
280 mm between the two rear axles.
823 mm from the forward rear axle to the first front axle mounting point.
6 total from axle mounting points, one about every 31 mm. Mine is in the 5th position, or 948 mm from the forward real axle.
Clear as mud? Call with questions (515-290-7789).
Got it, thanks a bunch. Also, I p/u the skis, just in time for fresh snow too. Thanks!
Can you imagine how imprecise those measurements would be in fractional measurements? Why can't this country get on the metric system?
