Unloading last night after a 3 day ride and I noticed my bottom roller looked funny. Grabbed it and it's wore out, top one not much better. I was poop'd and didn't look to close at them.
Now that I'm sitting on the computer this morning SORE, I thought I'd ask.
Do the stock chain rollers use bearing or are they just cheap?
If you've up graded your to a better quality roller which brand did you use and how are they holding up.
Thanks

Brand doesn't matter as much as one that is at least engineered to have a chance at doing something it's supposed to.
...like one with a couple of bearings in it!!
Mine are both wonky....have BEEN wonky for quite some time. But, if I used that reason to replace 'em...I'd have to replace the rider for the same reason.......

Some rollers have no locking hardware..and as Fuzzy says, if you tighten the bolt you defeat the purpose of the roller.
So...a cheap roller hardware setup will have the bolt simply threaded into something...NOT tightened against/to anything.
