Hi all,
I just installed the new Streetly frame into my M400 and am now in process of realligning te pressure pads / pinchrollers.
The old original tape set just needed too much 'push' to make them play ok
I already gently oiled some of the pinchrollers which stuck,that seems to work fine.Can I clean the rollers with alcohol or would that ruin them?
Cheers,H

Caveat: make sure all the excess oil is wiped away. Tapes don't like oil. The alcohol roller dip is quite acceptable (and preferable).
You may want to consider slightly catilevering the edges of the rollers. They tend to wear concave with age. Cantilevering provides a better surface to grip the tapes and reduce the possibility of tapes being skewed (and skewered).
