ADJUSTING THE SURF RAKE'S 8" & 3.5" IDLER ROLLER BEARINGS

One powerful advantage of the SURF RAKE’s longevity is its adjustable bearings. Instead of replacing rollers after the bearings wear, which can be a costly and time-consuming task, Barber uses roller bearings that can be adjusted as they age by simply adding inexpensive shims. This allows Barber’s rollers to last far longer–saving you time and money over time.
