 Re: What's the best drive roller?
this is NOT my idea I lifted from some other post. The neighbor gave me an industrial sanding belt. I have no idea if the regular ones are the same or not but this one has a thick cloth (it seems) back. I cut it to the right width and made it about an inch longer than the wheel is round.
Neighbor suggested gorilla glue to attach it to my pipe nipple, so I decided to try it. Yes it is expensive but hey what the heck. It is a learning adventure.
I glued it on following the directions and held it in place over night with some inner tube bands. I rode the bike about ten miles today and you can't tell it has ever turned. I don't know if it will hold up but man it really is a good wheel for now. Good friction and doesn't seem to be too rough on the tire but I really can't tell since It is an old tire anyway. |
