Round rail, will it do the job?

I've been working on a aluminum rail with wheels for a while, but it's not what I really had in mind... So I started looking for a rail similar to the Stage Zero since it's the cheapest way to go but the only one I found so far is this round rail: http://www.flamia.com/web3/index.php?menu=aluextrusion&submenu=&item=%2Fhome%2Fflamia%2Fdomains%2Fflamia.com%2Fpublic_html%2Fweb3%2Fflamiacd3webupdate%2Fcategoria-extrusion%2Bnombre-perfiles_15%2Bversion-2.conf

I'm still looking for a square one, but in case I don't find anything, do you think this will work?

Thanks.

That's a fairly odd profile.

That's a fairly odd profile. Certainly there are other suppliers - is that a Spain site you're looking at? If so, try: http://www.item24.com/en/contact/distributors/europe/spain.html

I thought it was impossible to get a decent profile here. Thank you! :D

Chris, is this one going to work well with the Stage Zero Kit? http://catalog.item24.us/product_info.php?info=p42544_Profile-5-60x20.html&tab=overview

I checked the entire catalog, but I think that's the most similar to the #1030 from 8020. I know it's narrower, but maybe with a little modifications to the cart?

There's also a wider one: http://catalog.item24.us/product_info.php?info=p37086_Profile-5-80x20.html

Thanks.
