Roller nuts?
What are these? i got them from a friend and i was wondering what they are and how they are place and such. i assume its a predecessor to the ball nut but im not sure.... the "ball" is two rollers connected to a wire the is springy like a ball nut.

The Loweball is a WAY better piece. Those rock n rollers make for good campfire discussion, but I wouldn't take them up El Cap or some desperate Tower route.
Sketch City, man.
