Maybe not right off the end, but i could envision the tube possibly wanting to run to one end if things aren't lined up. That's why i was asking.

I don't see how it would matter where it is on the rollers as long as it's still spinning...

I've tumbled over 100 bottles, and I only remember one time that the canister DIDN'T run over to one side. I was amazed that it stayed in the middle and I didn't want to touch it.

I've never left a bottle going for more than 5 days, but having it run up against the side roller doesn't seem to hurt anything. The side rollers can squeek if you don't lubricate them every once in a while - I use graphite. The plastic ones will wear out after a while - although I've switched to metal ones and haven't had one of them wear out yet.
