Parts: Wheel

I submitted a request to add this as an unsplit variant (because it is). This
request is to update the additional note.

I don't believe the item was released with a black band. I expended some
effort to fine one and was unsuccessful. One seller told me he believed the
black version of the band was homemade.

Second, the gray band is much closer in color to DBG than light gray as the note
states. In fact, I'm nearly certain the current catalog image shows the
gray band. You can judge the darkness of the gray for yourself.

I'm suggesting a change from this:

The rubber friction band appears to come randomly in either black, light gray
or trans-clear.


to this:

The rubber friction band comes in dark bluish gray or trans-clear. A black
version of the band is unconfirmed.
