I was worried about that too when I build mine I'll use 2x2x1/4" angle iron standing up (L), I have 12 bearings (5/16 ID x 3/4 OD From a flea market - $2.00 for all), I'll use 3 on each corner of the caridge, One to ride on top and one on each side to keep the top one inplace. As the edge of the angle is rounded the sawdust should'nt hang up there (with the vibrations iduced into the unit by the cutting edge of the router). If it does a side grinder can be used to dress up the edge like this ^ to make the foot print area smaller.

I had thought of using pipe and C shaped rollers. But don't have a lathe to make rollers with, and the foot print is a lot wider.

Will also mount a shopvac hose as close as posible to router bit to keep sawdust from flying around so much.

All parts on hand, just waiting to get to top of things to do list!!!!
