Relined bands and reviews

Ok fellow 6x6ers. How many of you guys are using relined bands and lets here how they're holding up and what everyone thinks of these??
Don't be shy about it. Lol
Thanks Dave

I have the last 2 sets Alabama bands ever did, and 3 sets from transmission crafters. (as well as 5 sets on deck to go to them) You know that i drive anything like a rental, and i've been happy with all of my relined stuff. that being said, I've never owned a new factory set, so perhaps i don't know what i'm missing

Well they shoulda been done today but Irma may have hampered that a little bit!! Yes. I've seen you drive so hopefully I have good luck. So you have some tc bands in use correct Brian??

I have used nothing but Transmission Crafters since I started riding and I have no complaints. When I get my bands back they look like new and they work great.

Thanks Mike����

In both of my racers too!

They shipped 14 bands back to me today. One set will have the thicker lining for turned down drums. Will let you know how they look.

Transmission crafters had the supply contract for skid steer at one time. They have been doing them for a while. I've used a lot of them no problems. I do like the new black bands that don't need any additives.

I don't think they do the black material but im not positive on that either

I haven't turned the drums yet Dave, I wanted to see the bands first and take off the right amount to match them.

How much did they oversize the thickness?? Any idea?

All I told them was to make them fit a drum with .020 milled off. When they get here I will mic them and post some pics.
