Just when i thought i'd finally got the friction drive setup to a tee i'm now discovering a new problem albeit no-doubt a regular and recurring one with other MB friction drive users.
The problem is that of the drive roller eating away at the rear tyre to the extent that after the next ride for safety reasons a new tyre will be required. Is there anyway of fixing this problem apart from replacing the current setup to that of a Chain Drive as supplied by Staton. I've wondered whether or not experimenting by putting rubber from a inner tube or actual tyre piece over the roller might solve the problem. Hence has any FDMB user tried such a method and if so what are/were their findings on the experiment?
Cheers for any feedback
