As it happens, I dismantled rollers to inspect bearings and in doing so realised there was a bloody great crack in one of them!

Don't know how I missed that yesterday during my hunt for the offending rattle...

Just trying to source a replacement, Garmin UK seem to be the only folks selling them, just suspicious that it might come from outside the UK so have asked them, will await reply. 

In the meantime, cracked roller obviously due to massive centrifugal forces and insane cadences skill? Beefcaaaaaake!]]></content:encoded>

<blockquote>Can you buy replacement bearings by themselves?</blockquote>

Bearings are standard sizes identified by a number printed on the seal.  Get them form any online bearing shop such as simplybearings.co.uk]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[No sooner than I'd figured out how to get a worthwhile workout on my rollers than they develop a really loud rattle when you hit higher speeds.

I think it's a speed thing as if I ride up the side of the rollers the noise goes away, I'm assuming because the larger diameter causes the roller to rotate less quickly.

I butchered some of the plasic moldings with the dremel as I thought the belt was slapping off them, but not that.

Can you buy replacement bearings by themselves? Garmin sell new rollers but at £32 each that would cost £100 to replace all 3...
