    What do you think about making a chain roller from wood? Stupid idea?

    @irongamer727 yeah that’s pretty stupid dude 😉 why would you want to do that they’re only a few pounds and the wood would rot chip splinter and just not function properly I really don’t see an upside to using wood unless you do?

      @declan it's harder than it seems to get a decent chain roller that doesn't include 3 weeks shipping.

              @declan and at that price I might as well buy OEM. Thinking about fabricating myself.

                    @declan Plus them tensioners look tacky as!

                    Nah man, I'd definitely look into penny board wheels, you could get OEM looking rollers, better quality for next to nothing.

                    Just need to research it a little to ensure you do actually buy ones that fit. I am dead certain I saw someone do it.

                      @calum they’re used a lot in place of axle bobbins/sliders but surely there’s the right size out there

                        @calum I kinda like the look of those I think the bikes they’re on make them look tacky but that’s just me

                            @irongamer727 yeah it is pricey for a roller anyway normal price would be about 6 quid but 13 still ain’t a sell your first born child pricey so I say do it if it fits
