The material maintains consistent tension over time, ensuring smooth operation and reducing the need for frequent adjustments. Polyurethane is also resistant to oils, moisture, and temperature changes, making it ideal for long-term use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling your new Ashford drive band requires partial disassembly of your spinning wheel (this is standard for Ashford wheels). Remove the necessary components to access the drive wheel and flyer whorl, remove your old band, and install the new pre-fused band. The custom length ensures a perfect fit for your specific model, providing optimal tension for smooth treadling and consistent fiber take-up. The professionally fused joint creates a seamless finish for quiet, smooth operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDIY Option\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you prefer to cut and fuse your own drive band, you can purchase \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/drive-band-material-sold-by-the-foot\" title=\"Shop Spinning Wheel Drive Band Material\"\u003espinning wheel drive band material by the foot\u003c\/a\u003e in several sizes and colors.
