Re: Cheap Rollers
Greetings:
I came this close to pulling the trigger on some Dr. Pulley "wedge" rollers while buying Polinis and Malossis this evening. I couldn't bear to part with a Jackson for rollers, though. Plus what weight will correspond with the 32-gram load of round ones I'm using? If someone has converted and can post from experience, I'd be obliged.

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

When I inquired a while back I was told that each slide should be a gram heavier than the rollers.

Re: Cheap Rollers
rolllers dictate ur accelaration and the top end of ur scooter...
depending on what purpose ur using...
i don't think spending a high price for a roller is not worth it...
u can get a good result using a taiwanese brand..imo..

Unless you are using too light of rollers, your top end should not be effected.

Re: Cheap Rollers
funny i have a 86 spree with 6500 miles on it and have never ever ever had the rollers replaced or needed to. Do you think thats because its a spree and low torque? seems to run great!! had to replace the spark plug the other day but it still hits 30mph no prob...??
86 spree with honda cb750 rear shock
xr50 knobby tires, 32mph on slightly restricted craftsman air filter.
Scooter was stolen so i have to make it look good again

Re: Cheap Rollers
You can't replace the roller in a Spree because it has none and that is why the Spree is slow off the line and slow on the top end. It is all compromise.Videonut wrote:funny i have a 86 spree with 6500 miles on it and have never ever ever had the rollers replaced or needed to.

Re: Cheap Rollers
Which rollers can I use for the Gyro Canopy? Mine won't shift to second gear and might as well change the rollers when I open it up to investigate. Aside from which to use and where to get them, would changing the roller make my Canopy to shift to 2nd?
