Wear is expected and replacement wheels will be available for purchase. Wheel lifespan is dependent on rope type, environment, and loading characteristics. Working with clean ropes is the best way to extend the longevity of your wheel, but we’ll have them available soon for when it does wear out. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOther wear components include the rope edge rollers and bearings, which require the device to be returned to HowNOT2 for service.
