For lower track rollers, what shape do you guys use? Do you shape them like the full size roller or do you shape with a raised center portion to go into the chain?
I am using #35 roller chain.
Thanks

Terry, because of the side profile of the 35 chain if you make rollers it will be a bumpy ride Most guys just profile the rollers and use a Teflon slide that fits inside the links of the chain. That stuff slides nice and doesn't plug up. Just a thought.

Thanks Rob, can you tell me a little more about the teflon idea, is it just fitted into the roller slots leaving the rollers stationary while travelling, and how is it held in place ? Appreciate any help you can offer.
