Yes but with that said the coefficient of friction between the neoprene and the hard fiber washer is greater than that of the hard fiber washer and the aluminium hub so there is just about no rotation of the washer relative to the roller. I hope that make sense. If I was to remake them i would have done it more like how 357 did it this past year with a nylon core and a molded urethane rubber outside.
