 Norprine tubing works great as a replacement

 The tricky part is cutting it.

 Thanks to Brad Parker for telling me about it. 
 What's the correct ID to choose?

 I assume you then slip it over the aluminum hub after cleaning all the
 old roller residue from it?  Do you glue the new tubing to the hub?

 Maybe we could get someone to cut proper sized chunks of this tubing
 with a laser cutter of some sort so that we have accurate dimensions
 with a clean edge?

I'll guess: no 55134, 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD x 1/16" based on a tip in an
another forum.

I wander if it could be possible to cut in a lathe if its put on a
temporary hub and cooled down with cooling spray.

I'll try to find a seller of this tube on the European side of the ocean.
The one that is refereed to above doesn't seams to ship over seas.
