The Spree has no rollers, so NO!

Just for the record new rollers and smoothing out the sharp edges on my ramp plate fixed the problem.

Greetings:

If the rollers are chopped up in more than 2 places, they will rattle at the bottom (middle) of the ramp. Should quiet down once they start pushing outward though. Glad the new ones cleared things up.
