It will work, but why would you want to do that. It wont roll as easy, it will bind up on you and I think it would be more likely to ratchet. I think it is a bad Idea. Just pony up some extra cash and buy some new drivers. Whats another $150 when you are already buying a new track? Just my 2 cents

Every person I've heard that swapped to a 3.0 hasn't has one issue.
If you look at the Avid CNC'd drivers which are 1/4" smaller they're actually a 2.88 pitch.
There's a few threads on this site confirming this and also Dootalk.

I've never heard of any problems, and never tried it myself but it just seems like if you have a 3.0 pitch track that is what you should run for drivers.

Yeah and everyone running a 3.0 suggests Avids 7 tooth CNC'd drivers.....which are 2.88? and $230???

You and I can argue about this all day but the fact that Camoplast is coming out with a line of extreme tracks with a 2.86 pitch makes this irrelevant.
