Rollers are about 60 - 70mm OD so not too bad. I think my turbo (tacx magnet job) spindle is a pittiful 35mm (hence endless slipping and tyre destruction, even Ttraining tyres only last a few weeks of basic use.
Was going to make a new thread, but was fearful of LFGSS thread merge posse ;)
Adjustable front as I have road bike, hack bike (geared right now, but about to become fixed for spring training thanks to dumpster find 1950s flipflop hub/wheel (airlite)) and others all have drastically different wheelbases (my road bike is a 70s bob jackson with pretty short wheelbase/ fair toe overlap etc, vs hack bike which is like a beach cruiser by comparison).
I've seen people use 10mm webbing (and sewn together) to good effect, but the friction from them is insane, and keeping them in a groove is tricky. 4-6mm nylon cord will be the job I think.
