FAQs:
Q Can I just buy 6.4 dowels from my local hardware store?
A Yes, but just as a 2 x 4 is not exactly 2 inches by 4 inches, dowels from the hardware store may not be exactly 6.4mm. You may need to shim store-bought dowels with a little piece of masking tape. Our 6.4mm dowels will always work with our hubs.
