So I've come to ask it again.

Can anyone link me or show me where to get PVC rollers for conveyor systems utilizing polycord?

Last year we were so misguided we ended up buying those foam rollers (the ones used for exercise).

Thanks in advance.

McMaster catalog page

There are a variety of sizes and material options. Take a look around McMaster or Grainger searching for 'Conveyor rollers' and you'll turn up some more.

For what it's worth, 95 used some rollers from McMaster last season and they worked out alright. We ran actual conveyor belting around them. Our early tests using polycord was suggesting it was going to be more trouble keeping them on track then it was worth in weight savings.
