I use Eikon bands, and I have never had a problem with them breaking on my Nicks, even after a 2 Hour session...and I have the same "hook-up" points as your machine....Sounds like your band is hitting the drive arm, keep the band close together, don't have the large gap, and position it slightly higher...
yes its hitting the drive arm..
what about those clear silicone things kingpin sells that goes down into the tube? needle runners?
Ok well I now own this machine, traded with onechance, and sure enough 5 mins into a tattoo and snap!
It's not possible to use the pegs on the side as the band rubs on the crank arm sides, I had to run a larger band right around the whole machine, right at the top near the loop which isn't the best.
I was using the thinner Eikon type bands that I use on all my machines.
It's a shame because as lots of people know its a demon machine - but I'll have to sort this issue before I can continue to use it.
I am gonna try spacers on the side pegs and filing the sides of the crank arm.
