Stoltz Rollers do not have a separate bushings that can come dis-lodged or dry out and crack, the inner sleeve is aluminum and is ideal for supporting and allowing the roller to spin. It is important that the other thing to worry about is a rusting roller shaft, which is why we have them available in Stainless Steel!
