GF-8585X - idler tire / pinch roller tire replacements ?

[markoneswift]

Hey all, I need to replace the idler and pinch roller tires on my 8585X as they are both rock hard. Any sources for replacements I should be aware of ?

Thanks

JB

Thanks Bill, good link. I've actually located a domestic supplier with a similar range just this afternoon. Being in NZ, it would he nice to do away with costly shipping so I will see if these local guys can help. I've replaced the idler tire just now with a nitrile o-ring of the same dimensions and it seems to work well. I just need to either soften or replace the pinch roller now

Problem with pinch rollers is after they get hard there are cracks 👎
