HI.
I tried to use tubbing but I definitely moved to o-rings - a pair for each reader gear. In my case, probably because of a bad choice, tubes were never regular and readers failed reading existing cards, neither could read their own recorded cards. I noticed a fluctuation in the sound of the motor and I decided to adjust the pulling gear shaft. That's when I noticed that the tubes did not have a regular thickness: either the card would briefly stop a few times while pulling - thus the malfunction message - with low pressure, or it would vary the motor pitch and speed with higher pressure, giving then a card error message.
This never occurred with o-rings.
My experience, though.
Cheers.
