All, Look up some MTD wooden rollers from the 70's first. They were as good as it got then. Well, Weyless was just as good, but not wood. The wood adds extra heft, so as to add resistance. More weight to the barrel so to speak. Those MTD's had gold anodized aluminum sides. But Weyless had steps! I found the taper more annoying then any thing else. Plop a piece of black electrical tape down the center of the front roller and it's all the visual stimulus you need to stay in center.
