Hello sirs!

I have a question about boundary conditions, lets say for example that i have a wheel thats in a U profile, what would i set the boundary conditions to be? My thought is like we are talking about small deformations when it comes to static analyses so, if it has some clearence, lets say one millimeter, is it then pinned instead of fixed etc? In the picture it can rotate a little before hitting the wall of the U profile around the x-axis, however, if its alot of movement it cant, so, i just need some help how to think about it.

I think this is literally a "roller" support. What am I missing?
