Dear Craig,
I got a tip (see below) from Pascal Breard from France a few weeks ago. It's
about his experiences with bicycle tube and it sounded very interesing to me,
but I still have not tested it myself.
Kind Regards,
Ben
P.s.: Congrats! Getting 3x 7740 is like winning in a lottery
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Takea bicycles inner tube ( the smaller one for race bicycle...), and cut it
every 4 mm...
It works very good, it's cheaper than lego belts, and works longer...
Here is the exact ref of the rubbers (inner tube of a bicycle tire), i have
used for my train :
HUTCHINSON 700x18-20-23 VF 53mm (course bicycle...)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
