Have built this now and ridden with it a while now. I'm very pleased with the movement. It makes trainer rides quite a bit more varied and comfortable. A very worthwhile addition. Thanks for the design. I popped a suspension ball early on (lucky I bought some spares). I balance the pressures on each side by using the spirit level but am playing with the absolute pressure. ATM it feels too easy to swing the bike side to side but I'm a bit wary of increasing the ball pressure too much in case they pop. Maybe the subject of another video - setting up the balls? Maybe I need to increase the number of balls...?

The plans are amazing! This is a better design than some of the commercial versions that are out there. I modified the design specifically for a Wahoo Kickr Bike so it is shorter by 5 inches. Bought the 13 ply 3/4" Baltic Birch plywood which is really nice to work with. CNC really isn't necessary if you are good with a router and a straight edge. A spindle sander is also helpful. I personally don't want much travel fore and aft so I am doubling the number of springs and pre-loading by one inch each. I also found that placing washers for 3/4 inch bolts solves the problem of the spring pressing on the linear motion bearings. 3/4 inch washers are oversize on the I.D. so they thread onto the 20mm shaft perfectly. Thinking it may make sense to put a thin coat of grease on the rod where the linear motion bearings travel? I paint carbon fiber frames for fun so this puppy is going to get a custom airbrush "basketweave" and then topped off with clear coat. Almost finished and can't wait to test it out! Thanks again for all of the collaboration here!!

Update: Assembled (no finish applied yet) and tested. This is an AMAZING design. Riding motion is so much better than without the rocker board. Doubling the number of spings provides the exact amount of fore and aft motion that I was looking for. Super enjoyable project for a DIY'er - it took about 1 1/2 weeks of spare time. The build is "industrial quality" using all of the supplies and recommendations from Andrew. I've also determined that with the Kickr Bike it isn't necessary to tie it down to the top plate as the bike weighs about 100 lbs and the flywheel is massive (50 lbs?). I attempted to tip it while riding and it isn't going anywhere. Obviously, you need to determine if this is appropriate for your bike and rocker plate setup. Finish Update: Rather than a custom paint job I've decided to take the Wahoo Kickr mat I bought, and adhere it to the top plate with 3M Super 77 spray adhesive. Once adhered, I'll trim it with a knife to about 1/4" overhang, flip the plate upside down and use a straight router bit with a roller pilot riding on the edge of the ply to trim it perfectly flush. I know it is an expensive mat to sacrifice but it is cheaper than the cost of the automotive paint I would use if I did the custom paint job. If you like this idea I know that there are cheaper mats on Amazon. This will provide a nice "no-slip" and tough finish to the top plate.

One more year and I decided a service was due as there were some clonking noises when honking out of the saddle on climbs. I also wanted to cut some holes is the top plate so that I could top up the balls with air by pumping from the top rather than the sides. I found that the steel rod had a 2 inch long wear groove in it. I turned it through 90deg, re-greased and re-assembled. It's OK for now but long term I think it would be better to get a new rod and have it hardened. Slots on top for pumping the balls is great. I also upgraded the balls from the very thin pimpled ones, as in this video, to the mini basket ball look-alikes which are more heavy duty. Popping balls I hope will be a thing of the past. I've also rested the whole thing on a pair of tubular tyres, pumped up to around 20psi to try to give the feel of being on a bike with tyres rather than rigidly hard on the ground. Thanks again for the original idea and design.

Hi, my name is Domenico and I’m writing from Italy. Excellent project. If I used springs with 2.5mm wire and 28mm external diameter but only 120mm in length… considering the slight compression I would have to give to stabilize the upper board, would the oscillation be little? Otherwise I could use springs with 2mm wire and 28mm diameter with a length of 150mm. I don’t know and I would like your suggestion on this hypothesis: If the springs are 120mm, having the wire 2.5mm (instead of 2mm) I would still get good resistance. What do you think? These are theoretical reasonings also because I haven’t seen your test of your Rocker Plate. Hello, thanks and see you soon 😉

How do you prevent overtravel of the top plate in reference to the bottom plate? I'm concerned that the springs won't be strong enough. Thoughts? 3. Did you notice clearance issues between the rod bracket on bottom plate to the top plate when assembled?
@WeRideSouth3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! So to answer your questions: 1. This was a prototype and I hadn't finalized the top linear bearings where they would leverage the linear rod supports, so this really isn't necessary with the new design which preloads the springs against the rod supports. 2. The springs are pre-loaded and counter act each other. Behind the spring is the linear rod support so you physically cannot go any further once you compressed the springs completely. If you're concerned about this you could beef up the springs with thicker wire. I have not had an issue. 3. There is an issue with SCS vs SBR bearings. The SCS bearings require about a 3-5mm riser vs the SBR that do not require a riser; however, the SBR are 35mm mounting holes vs the 40mm of the SCS so if you've already cut, switching probably isn't in the cards. You can cut some from wood or plastic. I hope that answers your questions.

Sure does! Thanks man. The design itself was really easy to reproduce so far. I don't have a cnc either so my buddies and I made a couple of hardboard templates, jig sawwed it and routed to finish. The "hard" part is getting the rod installed. Without the cnc, a good template is needed to get your bolt holes correctly located. But my buddy who ordered the bearing blocks assumed the 35mm spacing and we bought the 40mm spacing. Our template is jacked up for that now! Lol.

Hello Tim! There is a bit of discussion about ball placement on the Rocker Plate group and ideally you want the center of the balls to be 6 to 8 inches from the center line of the the pivot point, but it all comes down to feel. The further you put the balls out the more "stiff" the side to side motion becomes. Less stiff the closer in you go. Hope that helps.

Some people use 20mm washers in front and back of each bearing. This should do the trick. As far as getting to the balls you can use whatever inflatable ones you like. Some people drill access holes in the top and put the port facing that hole. I haven't had issues with the pressure in mine fluctuating that badly. I've only ever had to fill them up once or twice in a year.

@ChrisHeerschap4 ай бұрын
Linear bearings are designed to be linear bearings - not rotational. Just because they can doesn't mean they like it. When you rotate a linear bearing, the bearing balls are being side loaded and are unable to roll, so all of the balls in contact are point loaded as they're pretty much locked in place. The linear channels allow the balls to recirculate when moving along the axis, there's no provision for rotation. The only reason these would survive being used like this is because the load rating would be far above what they're rated for.
