I have several trailers that after about 25 or so years are due for some new wobble rollers. I have always run just plain original black rollers.
I can buy three different kinds of rollers locally, there are PVC rollers with thermally bonded plastic ribbed surface, solid rubber as the originals and solid Urethane rollers from Stoltz. The Stoltz rollers are buy far the most expensive and I've pretty much ruled them out for just that reason. (The original rubber rollers lasted 25 years, and I'm happy with that lifespan). My concerns are with the cheapest choice, the thermal plastic or PVC rollers from Yates, I am concerned with them cracking with age? I can for some reason picture the hubs cracking with side load. Has anyone had any real experience with the Yates Thermal plastic rollers?
(They also come in blue and black)
