I'd agree with that, the consequences of the chain snapping and locking your rear wheel don't bare thinking about

also the chain must worn out as there is 3 groves cutting into the casing above the mb chain guide u can move the chain with u hand so it easy touches the caseing?

1) you're not looking hard enough

2) It's not a chain roller.

3) It's something other than a chain roller

4) it's been in there for years

5) The chain sounds like it's bolloxed, change it

6) thoroughly clean out the chaincase
