I'm looking for a good chain roller, been through stock one, 3 skateboard wheels, and an aftermarket one lasted bout 3 hours. Let me know what works for you.

Go buy a cheap set of 4 skateboard wheels for less than the price of one roller and you'll be set. They work awesome. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

You're doing something wrong if they are wearing out as fast as you say they are. Are you making sure they spin freely when you install them. If they are too tight they will shred and if the bearings can't move freely they will shread. Skateboard wheels should work as good as any chain roller you buy.

Thats crazy, I can't get any life out of mine. I've tried several different strategies to make them last longer. They spin freely. I've tightened the chain differently to make them last longer. The last roller I bought had bearing in it so I figured it would last, I don't think it went past 3 hours, but we ramp them high and far, so I don't know if its eating it up in the air or what. Oh and thanks sandaholic, I'll have to consider that, it would be worth the money for me to get some riding time in without having to replace it after every other ride.

Stiffen that suspension so it doesn't bottom out so often. It takes ALOT of movement by the swingarm to put that much pressure on the roller. My son airs out his DS quite far, quite high, and quite often and hasn't busted any rollers. Some adjustment is amiss. And I follow him frequently and my big *** hasn't shattered any rollers, so I'm guessing loose suspension is at play.

Thats what my buddy said, I'll check on that when I put a new front shock on it, I bent one in about a 45 degree angle yesterday, so soon as i find some front shock i'll be back to riding.
