There's gotta be a Bell V1 Pro helmet hidden in there somewhere... Last edited by 54ny77; 05-09-2017 at 09:13 PM. |

Wei, you may actually be onto something there! Does it include free wheel-building?

My father-in-law helped with all of this, and showed up w/ the allthread & the clear plastic tubing to go over it. It's quite thick, and has proven to be very durable. I'll try to remember to take a pic & post it when I get home tonight. We used the 4-wheel trolley's, but if I was doing it over again I'd use the 2-wheels ones. I find the 4-wheel ones sometimes ride up in the track when trying to move bikes side-to-side & bind a bit. I think this would be much less of a problem with the 2-wheel version (and probably wouldn't be an issue with the 4-wheel ones if there was more weight keeping the wheels planted in the track). That said, these trolleys were a donation to my project, so certainly cost-effective. I need to price out "full retail price" on my DIY version & see how it compares to a real TrackRack. I'm guessing it'll come in cheaper, but not hugely so. |

I know we semi-joke about this but....my wife...oh bless her heart, she put up with me on the most part and it's not without challenge in the last 20 years of our marriage --- "He loves me, he loves his bikes, no...he loves me more, wait, he loves his bikes even more...nah, that can't be, he unequivocally loves me more, period..." and I try to keep her thoughts fixated on the last part of the sentence, which is true, our anniversary coming up tomorrow.
Thankfully the 20-year-old refrigerator that we kept outside in the garage is placed strategically where most of the view into the "bike room" is blocked... whew....I dread the day when my platoon sergeant calls for an impromptu barrack inspection. Tex pal and the others...I would love to help you out with an "outside-mistress-safe-harbor" but I am seriously running out of space here myself. When was the last eagle that you saw me land? I even have to recuse myself from the Yamaguchi that came up recently. That's how bad it has gotten. But I will always have an extra spot reserved for a Peg somewhere. I managed to move a bike into the bedroom last December under the pretense of "Oh honey, I need to check out this ZWIFT thingy that everyone is talking about, if you don't mind...."

Looks like a nice professional job. I will need to steal that idea on the plastic tubing. I used the two-wheel trolleys and sometimes they also get stuck a little when sliding a bike. I did price out my DIY with the Track Rack and do recall the DIY being cheaper.

Thanks for sharing this and the item list. In the process of building one myself and wondering how you enlarged the hole in the trolley to fit the threaded hook. Thanks |
