Stretched Band Diameters?
Anyone know the stretched band diameters?
For example, the diameter of a 14mm band at 200%?

Wow great work.
Would be cool to see a video if possible. I'm interested in the difference in performance with and without the "booster" band.
Did you make the rollers? Do they have bearings?
