David,
I replaced several of my sheaves many years ago. The groove for the wire is not that deep. All rope halyards run over them pretty easily without any additional drag. I replaced mine because the plain bearing material had worn away. The original stainless steel shafts were easy to clean up with emery paper.

So I may have had a brain cramp around this issue. I never thought I needed to replace the sheeves after going all rope halyard as I thought the line would ride above the sheeves wire recess. As my main is a pia to hoist maybe it is digging into the recess when hoisting the main and causing excess drag? David F. Risch. Please excuse brevity and possible typos...sent from my mobile device.
