Here's how it works: Anybody can ask a question The best answers are voted up and rise to the top My roller chair is now immovable since there is somehow HAIR, which is about 3 feet (9 dm) per strand, rolled and tangled into all 5 wheels. Below is a picture of the chair: MSRP for this chair: $625.49 I cannot afford to take it to get fixed, and I don't have tools to take the legs off and clean them. Is there a solution for my problem? Turn the chair upside down on a desk or on the floor. Use small scrub or tooth brush or mascara brush/wand, and clean the caster with soap water or alcohol. This will remove dusts and keep only hairs and threads that got tangled. Remove the visible hairs using butter knife on the crevice of the caster on both sides. Kitchen Tweezers are very helpful here. Use nail clipper/cutter's bottle opener. It will have pointed curve. Insert it into the fissure, Catch the hairs and pluck off the hairs.
Keep revolving & rotating the caster strategically by other hand while doing this and this will help the tool to catch more hairs. Simply cut a section of duct tape and then stick around the cover and pluck off. You can also cut a section of duct tape and fold it back around your razor knife so that it will be like a closed loop ready to stick, then insert it under the wheel cover and pluck off. Reason why Razor knife is because they are very thin. Do not use sharp knives including razor knife. It will cut the hairs and make it difficult. But if the hairs are very stubborn and likely to tangled like a closed loop, cut the hairs with small manicure scissors or razor blade to break the closed loop. If you are not satisfied after trying the mentioned workarounds, then I would recommend you to get a screw driver and remove the caster from the chair, then wash on the soap water and apply lubricants. The example sample images are taken from Google search I think my answer will come as a surprise to most people, since I did not see it online during my repair attempts.
The wheels or rollers used by common office chairs are universal. They're called "casters" and you can buy a set of five on eBay for around $8, including shipping. Because the other methods can take hours, replacing them is cost effective for anyone making even minimum wage. Unfortunately, while you can remove them, there does not seem to be a simple way to disassemble the casters themselves for repair, since the most popular YouTube method for doing so involved complicated drill holes and other carpentry. I found both the knife and the conventional lighter methods to be ineffective. I did not try the Iroda torch pictured in another comment ($60). I declined to try either of the high-concentration hydrogen peroxide or drain cleaner methods proposed online. I had the idea to try a Dremel tool with a flat attachment ($80), but again that is price prohibitive if you do not already own one, and may not even work. If you don't mind the smell, use one of those: Although being plastic, the material of the rolls is quite thick, and thus doesn't heat up so quickly (Just like the "trick" where you can hold your hand into a candle for a fraction of a second).
Just briefly (a second or two) hold the flame inside the wheel and watch the hairs go up in smoke. They burn nicely but smell awfully. Unless you have really lots of dense greasy hair in there, the burning will not harm the rolls. For added safety, have it burn only for a second or two on its own and then blow it of. Scrape of the brittle remainders with whatever you have available ( I used a screwdriver ). Of course do it with all the necessary precautions. Outside, nothing flammable around, a bucket of water in case something goes wrong etc. I used wooden matches to burn the hair and a pair of tweezers to remove the residue. Then I sprayed DW40.

If you do a lot of sitting (and most of us do) you probably won’t believe how much the simple act of sitting is damaging your body. And there’s a lot of science to prove it. That’s why so many people suffer from back pain, headaches, or problems with their neck, arms, hands or shoulders. You may very well be one of them. If you are, then here’s something else you might find hard to believe: the solution is surprisingly simple. That’s because the solution is a seat. More specifically, it’s the Bambach Saddle Seat.
The Bambach Saddle Seat is good for the spine. In fact, it’s the only seat scientifically proven to reduce and prevent back pain and other posture related problems. Whether you already suffer with these problems, or you want to avoid doing so in the future, you should seriously consider using a Bambach. On this site, we look at what you’ll get from using one of our seats – and why. If you want detailed explanations of what the Bambach can do for you, and how, you’ll find them on this site. We’ll answer questions such as: What’s wrong with the seat you use now? The short answer is ‘a lot’. That’s because conventional seats force the spine out of its natural, healthy ‘S’ shape, into an unnatural and extremely unhealthy ‘C’ shape. This doesn’t merely result in musculoskeletal problems such as lower back pain, but tends to crush the internal organs, producing a wide range of other problems and even increased cholesterol levels. For a full description of the medical problems that result from sitting on a conventional or flat seat, read our section: The ‘C’-shaped spine - why conventional seats are bad for you.
How does the Bambach Saddle Seat help you sit more healthily? Basically, the Bambach supports your pelvis in the same position it’s in when you are standing. This ensures that when you sit, your spine is in a natural ‘S’ shape, so you sit easily and effortlessly upright. The result is a dramatic reduction in the likelihood of suffering from back pain, muscular pains, or any posture related problems. To see what lies at the root of the Bambach’s amazing therapeutic effect, read our short Bambach story. What are the benefits of using a Bambach? The instant you begin using a Bambach, you’ll feel a positive difference. And after a while, you’ll wonder why you ever felt comfortable on your old seat. Users of our ergonomic seating solutions have reported a massive range of benefits, from simple back pain relief to being a life-changing experience. For a full list of the benefits of using the Bambach, read the section: The benefits of sitting on a Bambach. Are the benefits medically proven?

In fact, statistics show that we sit, on average, for nearly 9 hours a day! So it’s no wonder that 80% of adults suffer back pain at some stage in their life. However, some groups of people are at more risk than others of suffering posture-related problems, so we’ve developed Bambachs to meet their specific needs.
There is a Bambach for dentists and their team, a Bambach for children with special needs, and a Bambach for back pain, rehabilitation, or adult special needs.

"You can minimise your risk of developing a slipped disc or back injury that could lead to sciatica by adopting a better posture." The science behind The Bambach Should you stand to work? Many experts suggest that rather than sitting down to do your work, you should stand up so you can avoid the musculoskeletal problems caused by conventional sitting positions.9 When you’re standing, the pelvis is in a neutral position, and your postural muscles help to keep the spine in a natural healthy “S” shape.
But, of course, standing to work is not an option for most of us. What’s more, it has long been known that standing all day is not only more tiring, but it dramatically increases the risk of carotid atherosclerosis (by a factor of nine to be precise). That’s because of the additional load that’s put on the circulatory system. It also increases the risk of varicose veins. Clearly, standing is not the solution to the problem.Well, there is a solution - The Bambach Saddle Seat! It’s a solution that replicates all the advantages of standing, and puts the spine in its natural ‘S’ shape, without actually making you stand. It’s a seat that’s specially designed to work with, not against, the musculoskeletal system and keep your upper body in a balanced position. Put simply, it stops your body from slumping while you’re sitting. And it’s available for you to try for free! Call 0800 581108 and ask for your free trial. The Bambach is available in four saddle sizes, 3 hard wearing finishes and over 30 colours.
