Restore the effortless rhythm of your wheel with the Ashford Traveller 3 Drive Band. This 1600mm x 2.3mm polycord band is precision-engineered for the Traveller 3’s unique geometry, providing a smooth, stretch-resistant connection between the drive wheel and the flyer. Packaged as a single unit, this durable synthetic cord eliminates the need for constant tension adjustments, ensuring a consistent ratio and a whisper-quiet spinning experience.
The Synthetic Advantage: Set and Forget
Traditional cotton drive bands are charming, but they react to humidity and stretch over time, requiring frequent re-tying and tensioning. In 2026, the modern spinner prefers the reliability of polycord. This material is thermally stable and possesses a slight “tackiness” that ensures every ounce of energy from your treadling is transferred directly to the flyer. It won’t slip during high-speed lace spinning or heavy plying, allowing you to maintain a perfect, uninterrupted flow.
Designed Specifically for the Traveller 3
Not all polycords are created equal. This 1600mm loop is exactly calibrated for the Traveller 3’s upright frame. Because the Traveller 3 uses a smaller drive wheel than the Traditional Saxony models, the thickness and length of the band are critical. At 2.3mm, this cord sits perfectly in the wheel’s groove, reducing friction-related noise and preventing the band from “jumping” during fast ratio changes.
Installation & Maintenance
This drive band comes pre-fused as a continuous loop. To install it, you simply need to remove the flyer and slip the band over the drive wheel. Because it is synthetic, it requires zero maintenance—no wax or chalk is needed. It is the ultimate “install and ignore” upgrade for your studio, keeping your Traveller 3 in peak mechanical condition for years.
