Wall mounted background holders

Need a little help here. I am building a new studio and came across this nifty three-roll holder for backgrounds, but it only has the adapters for paper rolls and I use muslins. Any ideas how I can use this setup with muslins?

Simple. Get some lengths of 2" PVC pipe and use that for the spools for your muslins.
I sell a lot of these from Manfrotto. There are some Chinese knock-offs on the market that sell for a lot less and look exactly the same, but they are highly inferior in build quality. The plastic roller chains break almost immediately and the roll expanders only last for a few uses too if you change rolls regularly, they strip out very easily. Just a word to the wise if you are looking to buy them off Ebay.

I was looking at a set from Cowboy Studio Photo Equipment.
