Any one know where i can get roller guides like the ones on this page:

I just want the roller guides, not the knob or bolt.

Hmm. They look a lot like in-line roller skate wheels. I can't tell about the diameter. Maybe skate wheels are bigger. But google with "skate wheels" to find lots of sources for them.

And there's these, which are intended for pocket-door applications.

I thought about in-line wheels but most of the ones I've seen are pretty big. I was wanting a smaller diameter wheel but I'll check them out again.

Any other suggestions?

You can turn or sand down inline skate wheels to the right size/shape on your lathe or drill press. This is probably the cheapest option.

Why not the other ones I suggested? You're not giving us much hints of what you think you need.

If it is ball bearings that you find attractive, you can buy many sizess of bearings and rub collars from outfits that sell router bits and shaper cutters. For instance http://www.eagleamerica.com/product/v196-0400/maint_-_bearings_and_rub_collars
