Just give it a few extra twists beyond what you've been using. Any time I have slippage I can just tighten the roller against the wheel and it's gone.
I don't think there's any real danger to the rear wheel of over-tightening the roller, other than popping your tube.
I lowered pressure first, then tightened the roller. My thought was more contact patch (apparantly wrong) would help. I haven't tried higher pressure plus a tighter roller.
I have been tightening the roller until I can see the tire begin to deform, I'm a bit hesitant to go tighter, but I'll give it a try along with 100psi.
Thanks.
