Why Replace Your Conrod Joint?

Over time, polyurethane joints can become brittle, stretched, or loose—causing reduced treadling efficiency or disconnected motion. Replacing your worn conrod joint restores balance and prevents treadle slippage or wheel hesitation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How do I know if my wheel was made after 2012?
Most wheels made after 2012 use the poly conrod joint instead of leather or metal connectors. If you’re unsure, look at your treadle mechanism or contact us with a photo.

Q: What happens if my conrod joint wears out?
A worn joint can cause treadling to feel loose, irregular, or unresponsive. Replacing it restores the wheel's smooth drive motion.

Q: Do I need tools to install it?
No. This joint installs by hand. Just remove the old one and slide the new joint into place.
