What material do most builders make bearing spacers out of that fit the 6004PWB that the Fallshaw wheel come with?
The importance of these components I have overlooked in the past but have remembered the these details add up when the wind is super light.

Where do you source it from Wayne?
Would 20mm PVC conduit be strong enough?

I have used 25mm 316 stainless steel, boat hand rail that has a wall thickness of 1.75mm.
I scrounged it from the local scrappy while dropping off my waste steel.
I need to see him again as I've run dry and used all I found last time.
