You can replace the old ones by ordering from Mud Hole or other suppliers.

You can also replace the O rings from the hardware store as well.

If you are looking to upgrade, not sure how well some of the replacement roller ideas would work on the Forecast wrapper. Many have used roller skate wheels or furniture casters fitted with O rings, but I think these would requre a larger holder/stand.

Terry- your mention of skateboard wheels jogged my memory. They have excellent bearings in them . While in a local hobby shop recently picking up some art type brushes, something caught my eye. They have air filled rubber wheels for R/C airplanes. Real soft, would grip like the O rings do. I remember seeing some that were about 2 in. in diameter and probably 3/4 in. in width. I would bet they come in many different sizes. Just a thought.
