Is that a knurled roller I see on your bench Joe? I was thinking the same thing for more drive traction but without a convex shape does the belt run straight?

I've stayed away from tire tubes till now because, I can't seem to cut a straight line if my life depended on it and a tube limits the length of the conveyor.
But now that you mention mold lines on the tubes makes cutting easier and the length of conveyor I need is based on my worksite layout. Instead of making a conveyor fit the site, I might have to make my site suit the conveyor once built.

the tubes you have hanging on the door, approximately how long of a conveyor can you make with them?
