Where to buy rollers?

I need 13x16 5.5 or 6 g rollers for the transmission in this damn scooter, but battle scooter wants 15 bucks for shipping and the online place ryland gave me doesn't seem to have them listed...Anyone got any ideas?

Rollers? Is it a hardware item? Have you tried McMaster-Carr?

Or Grainger? JC Whitney? Not really sure what a roller is...

I'm not quite sure how to describe them either...

Post a photo maybe?

Oh, wait, I went to the link and searched for rollers.

I can't tell what the crucial dimension or features are... Looks like the OD is the same but the ID can vary. What's the outside rolling surface like?

Is it something rubbery like a skateboard or rollerblade wheel? Boat trailers have urethane rollers on them that could be cut to size maybe...

I'm stalling until someone who really knows can help you. :-)

Well, they are parts that fit into a CVT transmission, so they need to be somewhat precise, meaning, the exact thing meant for the purpose. I tried to link right to the product, but it didn't go through properly. I just don't want to spend 14 dollars on shipping!

Ah, I see.

Not to be a doofus or anything, but can you buy them locally for less? Shipping sometimes kills the economics of online buying. I understand not wanting to pay 14 bucks for shipping...
