(3) clean the rollers; and make sure they're smooth (cheaper rollers tend to have uneven spots or casting marks in their surfaces)
(4) lubricate bearings of rollers
(5) make sure rollers are level
(6) make sure rollers are adjusted to fit bike
er, um… that's it!

Tires are slick (check)
Tires clean with no bumps (check)
Brand new rollers machined, not casted (check)
Sealed bearings (check)
Level (check)
Front roller slightly ahead of front hub (check)
Squeaky (check)
Maybe I'll try a little more air in the tires
