Post by: nut on December 12, 2010, 06:29:29 PM

I was given a set of 5g rollers but there 15mm by12mm. N the stoke size is 16mm by 13mm if. I use the smaller size will it work r would it be like the worn out stoke ones rwould it make it a little better mine have 26000kl on them so figured they probly about the size of the smaller ones but the 15mm ones r lighter just wanted to know if it b worth the time in puting them in tell I can get the 16mm ligh weight on

??? So you have 16 x 13's in and they're getting old...but you wanna put the 15 x 12's in instead of the 16 x 13's...until you can get some 16 x 13's?

Did I read that right?

Yeah...

Um...

Well, the new rollers will fit, they're smaller than stock but...

I'd guess you'd have two main problems.

First would be a vibration/rattle. The smaller size would mean they have more room to bounce around.

My other guess would be that they would wear out faster, but that's just a guess.


I think the new, more rounded, weights would act smoother than your stocks due to no flat spots.

Can't say I've ever heard of anyone trying that.

I wouldn't want to be the one that tests it out to see how it goes.

New rollers are cheap enough that I would wait and get the right ones.

I agree.
