Just a note for someone who may stumble upon this post like I did and is from Australia, the o-ring cord worked a treat as a replacement for my Sport Crafters bike roller! The trick is to use industrial-strength super glue. Here's what I ordered from Swift Supplies (AU): Nitrile Rubber O Ring Cord 5mm - 2m length (SKU: SWM000106B01V0005) Weicon VA 8406 Industrial Super Glue 12gm (SKU: SWS000001)All up, under 20 AUD. Also, the o ring cord is stretched when they cut it from a large roll so it may arrive somewhat shorter than what you think you ordered. Have done over 300 Kms on the trainer so far with no issues.
