I’m about to build a LR2 and am wondering how imporant a 60mm wheel diameter is ?
I really can’t afford to send a set of inline skate wheels over to Australia from USA so was hoping to buy a set of luggage wheels or inline skate wheels locally… but it’s hard to get 60mm. 63mm yes
I used something like 75/80. It raises the axle up a bit, which means you can’t drop quite as low. You may want to increase the thickness of your spoilboard to compensate, but for just a few mm like that, your endmills will probably be long enough anyway.
Also, mine were kinda softer rubber from a scooter. I don’t recommend them, but I had some other…issues as well.
I notice some LR2 owners are having difficulty with "waves " forming (uneven surfaces). This is mostly due to slightly elongated wheels (not perfectly round). I am under the impresseion that using soft polyurethane wheels is probably a bad choice. Might be better sticking with plastic or even metal wheels. The hard part is to keep the rail clean of debri.
Here’s a link to a LR2 wheel that can be printed. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4124329
