Out of curiosity, does anyone produce a non-straight cut idler gear with the roller bearing? I see lots of them in the straight cut config but never to simply replace the standard one...and get away from the need for thrusts.
Roller Bearing Idler Gears?

MS tried developing a kit but didn't last apparently. Problem is with helical gear is the side loading, which is no good for a standard roller bearing, ideally needs a taper.
