Keep us advised on this project. I have the BowFlex Ultimate and do find it a bit awkward to move around.


This worked out pretty well. I had to drill and tap a few holes and
make those plates. It wasn't tough.


Do you wish the wheels were 6 or 8 inches farther apart?

I did put them about an inch or 2 farther apart with the 2 extra nuts
and washers but this is a heavy SOB and even with a 5/8" axle, I was
worried about it bending. It is fairly stable and I have not had a
problem with it tipping over. If I want to go any wider I may need
more structure or a thicker axle. I was just using what I had in the
garage.
