Turbo Rocker Board

[Brendan Parker]

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

Just placed between boards. I have moved around and found directly under the feet of the kickr. But I suppose a lot depends on the gap you have. I will measure next time I’m in there.

I have 60mm between boards. That I would suggest is the smallest with these pods. Could prob go to 75mm if needed.

How are you finding the balls you used ,can you inflate and release pressure , any name or makers mark on them please @tincaman

Cheers

Sorry, there's nothing on them to formally identify them. They have a valve so they are adjustable with a pump

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

My pods arrived from a seller on eBay a little cheaper than the ones you listed ,then found them even cheaper on Amazon from the same supplier, just ordered the mounts and hopefully pick up some board at the weekend

For feet, i used two holes saws to cut out rings, then cut off about 40% of the circle drilled screw holes and viola

The balls were losing pressure so that I had to adjust them every time I went to use it. Bought some of these pump wedges from ebay:

Collected all the items I need and just taken the plywood to the local chippy for him to cut and router the edges ,then the build will begin

In fact these lose pressure faster than the balls. But it's very easy to reset them due to the accessibility of the hand pumps, just let them down and then hand pump 25 times on each side, takes about 20 seconds

Well I got the boards cut and applied some varnish , a test build as still waiting for some rubber mat to stick to the top board ,the slots allowed some strong Velcro straps to be used to secure the Neo , thinking about using 4 furniture castor cups screwed to the top to place the Neo feet in.

Got to use a hole saw on the bottom board to get to the valves on the air bags to inflate or deflate to required pressure
