RED2stroke Posted April 16, 2024 Posted April 16, 2024 Hi all, not sure if this is the right place to post this, but as a life long shiter on both two wheels and four I am sadly finding it more difficult to get some of my bike shite started, the old leg muscles ain't what they were and the risk of doing some damage (to me not the bike) is increasing. So would anyone here have or know of a roller starter set up for sale? Mains or battery I don't mind what it looks like as long as it works and my budget is limited, I don't mind travelling to collect. Thanks
jollyfkr2 Posted August 18 Posted August 18 No, but I'm in the same boat, let me know if you find anything!
Mally Posted August 18 Posted August 18 When my eldest raced Grass track bikes, some had long rollers. They sat one car wheel in one end, and bike in the other. My dad stopped riding when he couldn't start the Gold Flash due to Byssinosis. Rode bikes from 16, Passed his car test aged 56. Wouldn't have an electric start on a bike. Said it was cheating. We could weld something up along those lines, given the parts, but I'd be worried about possible repercussions if the bike shot off.
mintwth Posted August 18 Posted August 18 How about a DIY version? https://teamghettoracing.com/fabrication/roller-starters/
