Hi all.
Let me start by saying i've been following this thread (and forum) only for the last week or so, and I'm impressed with the creativity of people.

I have an idea which could repair redriners wheel (maybe)
Cut holes (3+) and insert supportwheels from the back. If you get it balanced right it should be moving once again, and help prevent it going wagling.

See sketch below.

Nice going Redriderno22

Look forward to seeing it go when repaired.

I like the idea of adding Pennies to get the weight correct.

Cheers

Quick update from me.

I was going to use Mecanno strips to join each slider, but then had a thought about using Hacksaw blades instead.
These are thin, strong and lightweight. Bit of a devil to cut and drill, but work a treat.



Have done a quick video also to show how smooth these sliders are. There is no weight on the ends at the moment and they still slide, with the odd one sticking every now and then .
I think it is a good idea to reduce the friction in as many areas as you can while building it up, because trying to do this later will be just stepping back as such.

I will add brass poles next to each polycarbonate slider mount which will the added weight and fix some magnets on the end.

Here is the video of the progress so far.
