This is a tough one. This sounds like meticulous maintenance, and rollers pop off the chains all the time....

Anyway, I was riding the other day, looked down at the chain and noticed a few links looked a bit different. Upon closer inspection, I saw that a few links were missing the rollers. I can't see a way to install new rollers, so I guess I can just install a few replacement links as needed ? Right ?
The rest of you should have played along and let a few more nincompoops get sucked in
