FAQs
Q: Which wheels is this brake band compatible with?
A: It fits Ashford single drive spinning wheels including the Traditional, Traveller, Kiwi, Joy, and Joy 2. It is not used on double drive wheels like the Elizabeth in double drive mode.
Q: Is the tension spring included?
A: No, this is the nylon brake band only. The metal spring can be ordered separately.
Q: How do I install the brake band?
A: Simply remove the old band, thread the nylon brake band around the bobbin brake groove, and secure it using the tension knob or hook on your wheel. Adjust the spring to increase or decrease brake tension.
Q: What’s the function of a brake band?
A: The brake band controls the rotation of the bobbin during spinning, helping regulate yarn take-up and spinning speed in scotch tension systems.
Q: How often should I replace it?
A: Replace the brake band if it becomes frayed, stretches out of shape, or loses its tension control. Many spinners keep a spare on hand to avoid interruptions.
