Turbo Rocker Board

[Aleman]

I am thinking of building a board using a line of engine or gearbox mounts for the pivot and to provide some dampening. I looked on the Facebook group, but has anyone here done it?

That the one using the Volvo Engine Mounts ... Interesting, doing away with the need for a shaft and pillow bearings ... I'm afraid I went down the classic line of Shaft, bearings and Wheelbarrow tubes, with a rectangular rocker (8 by 4 board cut to 6ft and then in half ... just fits the Bkool Pro)

New Rockr Pro $499 .Upgraded pivots, now with forward/aft 15mm movement

See Facebook and Google

For anyone wanting an excellent rocker manufactured then, I must admit is a very impressive bit of kit

Not quite as satisfying as building your own though

First proper trial run tonight. Done 90 mins in and out of the saddle. Love it works a treat. Cheers @CXRAndy

@tincaman How are you liking the movement?

 

[Freelanderuk]

I found a supplier of larger vibration mounts at a good price but can not decide on what to use as suspension

@tincaman How are you liking the movement?

I had an hour on it today and it definitely helps with comfort, no doubt at all

I have used these. You can inflate as you want. Were quite stiff for first few weeks

Thanks for the link I have watched, did you just place them in between the boards or did you cut a circular hole on the top board for the dome
