Just finished my first roller build :)

A Pathos Laser Open Pro 110 modded with new Salvimar roller head & 16mm low ID rubber at 320% stretch.

I will take some photos when I get a chance.

Only managed to trial it once, seems plenty strong. One issue though...it has become heavy. I mounted a 7mm Salvimar 150mm shaft & probably also due to roller head. It is still fairly well balanced (front & rear) & sinks evenly but quite fast to the bottom.

How can I make it float better!? You have to fight it to keep it straight as it wants to sink. Thanks for advice!
