    Y’all the smell of fresh cut cedar is delightful, fam. Such a creative use of materials for this project.
    I took a cycling class in college. There were two of us with mountain bikes. On rainy days we all had to do rollers inside a gym. The sound of mountain bike tires on rollers i swear is louder than those cedar rollers. ‘good times.

    For someone who's never ridden or seen rollers before, you sure got the hang of them really fast. I know roadies who took upwards to 2 weeks to learn to get on, let alone ride hand-carved wooden logs! Sweet rig!

    This video is amazing. I'm a mountain biker but I live in the north east so all winter long, I spend about 5 hours a week on my rollers. On a mountain bike. I love this homemade wooden roller! Although I think that long term, you're going to have a few issues:
    If possible, I would re-make the rollers themselves. Try to use a lather or a homemade lathe like you did to make them much smoother. You're on an MTB which is good, it's going to absorb a lot of vibration and keep the wheels glued. But even so, , that vibration is going to get old fast. And it will help shake the thing apart.
    Air up your tires!! I run maxxis hookworms at no less than 40 PSI. I'm not sure of the exact PSI but you want a lot firmer. When you ride low pressure, among the many problems is that the roller starts to separate tire layers and ruin the tire.
    I think a better belt solution would work better. If you could find something like an automotive fan belt, and then if you could work in a tensioner that actually has a spring, that might work really well. The problem with your system is theres no real tension. Once the strap stretched even a little bit, it will start sliding. You can keep manually adjusting tension but it won't be ideal. Plus I think that strap will wear out pretty quickly compared to something like a rubber fan belt.
    Otherwise I love this thing! Especially the width! When I was new to rollers, one of the big problems I had was how narrow they are. I'm fine now but years ago, I would have loved a wider setup. Once my plastic drums wear out, I'm going to see if I can build my own wooden ones :D
