Expert Reply:
I usually recommend the non-marking thermoplastic rollers, # YR1200Y or # YR1200B because it is stronger, lasts longer, than rubber and it doesn't leave marks. These rollers both take 5/8 inch shafts. You can use # CE10727A for a shaft with the pal nuts included. These parts are zinc plated for corrosion resistance.
