Might swap to the 22 tooth 6 bolt, as my rear wheel was destroyed by a screw recently

Here's 14 pages of belt drive chat.

Another belt on it's way out. They have only been lasting about two months each so far. Wear has been even across the belt, alignment is good, tension is good. When they do go, they go very quickly with teeth pinging off everywhere. While it works it is fantastic though - just wish they actually lasted like they said they should.

Last resort is increasing the size of the rear pulley (as I have one spare belt left).

I also sent an email through to Gates (again) to see if they have any answers at all, or any updates to the construction of the belt.

That is the leading each of the teeth by the way, so I may just have to admit that I am too powerful for belts :P

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
