Title: homemade chain rollers.
Post by: suzuki447 on June 15, 2012, 09:11:01 pm

gday ,just thought someone mite be interested in some homemade chainrollers i ve just made up .got a few old skate board wheels off  my son .first cut sides off with hacksaw to width to suit your guide width.then smooth finish sides before fitting them with bolt.these still have bearings which are great ,these rollers are on all my bikes and they spin instead of wear from chain drag .they work well.

you can shape them with a grinder while they are still on the truck, easy.
