Sorry to everyone for not responding in this thread sooner...Sunday night I came down with the flu, and was completely wiped out Monday and most of Tuesday. I'm feeling better today, though still not eating...

The gym flooring comes in a bunch of different thickness's, and the thicker ones are quite firm, so I think rolling on them would be OK. However, I liked your idea of the garage floor tiling, so I looked into it and ended up buying some. I'll post a picture later in the thread.

Yeah, the underlay is about 80% of the problem - it allows for a huge amount of "flex" in the laminate, which means the edges pop up and get caught by the wheels. If I didn't have that thick underlay, I doubt I'd have these problems.
