Re: [adk-luge] Wheel's for the sled?
hi i have been sliding on wheals sleds all summer with the luge team on their sleds. USLA will use the same sleds in the winter as they do in the summer they just change the seals for wheels. the weals parts look really simple you could probably fiend a picture of a sled on the luge web sight. but all i think they are is a piece of angle iron as long as your kufins then you will drill wholes where your where your seals bolts go through kufin to attach the seal to the sled. for the wheals are roller skate wheals 6 on each side. you will probably want to space them out evenly along the angle iron, you will also need to drill wholes for each weal, and you would attach them with nuts and bolts. most of the sled have there wheals facing out on the out side of the kufins but i saw one sled that had the wheals on the in side ore underneath the sled
for paddles because ruining over you fingers got old relay fast. i hope this helps.

| Had a question. Anybody have plans or something to convert my ice sled to a land sled by removing the runners, and putting on wheels? My uncle made a set of portable start handles a few years ago, and I'd like to practice my starts with out have to make the trip up to Lake Placid. I don't have many tools to do this, so the simpler to build a set of wheels, the better. Thanks. -Jonas |
