This isn't a guaranteed fix but I have found that it works most of the time.
The problem is that the rollers don't spin as freely as they should so they
pivot on the bar instead.  Try a little silicone spray on the friction
points of the rollers.  You might be amazed at the difference it makes.


Hope this helps.
