Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How do I know if I have a Traveller 3 wheel?
Traveller 3 features updated treadle geometry, easier bobbin access, and enhanced modern styling. If your wheel was purchased new after 2021 and labeled "Traveller 3" on the box or manual, this is the correct part.

Q: Can this drive band be used on older Traveller models?
No. This drive band is custom-sized for the Traveller 3 only. Earlier models (Traveller 1 and 2) require a different band length and configuration.

Q: Does this band require special tools to install?
No tools are needed. It slips into place by hand and self-tensions during use.

Q: Is it a stretchy band or a hard belt?
It’s a polycord band—flexible yet strong—designed to provide smooth treadling without slipping or excessive give.
