Does anyone know where you can buy the rubber traction that goes on the IFI traction wheels?
or do you just buy the wheel and strip off the rubbers…
THANKS!
(i hope this subject is in the right place…lemme know if it isnt and where i should put it next time)
Here’s an entire page from McMaster that has all the specs and info you could want for the traction material:
IFI Wheels come with both the Wedgetop or the rubber Roughtop. Some teams use the blue nitrile for wheel tread, but it’s noticeably more expensive, so it may not be worth it for you.

Thats the website, you can buy just the tread
Its known as incline conveyor belting and is available from several places, most commonly afaik mcmaster car
just search “incline conveyor belting”

both wedgetop and roughtop are available, roughtop in different types of rubber
I believe the technical term is conveyor belting. Your choice of incline or food grade on McMaster. Choose your type (roughtop or wedgetop) and your material, but make sure it’s strong enough.

ok thanks.
just what i was looking for
AndyMark also sells tread seperately for their wheels.
