Re: Need quick help please - Is the Gates Poly Chain belt unidirectional?!?

[quote user="mdfdwarrior"] I did however notice that the belt traveled a little more to the left as I tightened down the axle nut....whether a little belt travel (perhaps 1/8"?) when the axle nut is torqued down is acceptable/normal I do not know....It's the same axle nut, same spacer...

Re: Need quick help please - Is the Gates Poly Chain belt unidirectional?!?

Not that i have a solution but just some thoughts. What's the condition of your frt aluminum pulley teeth in the drive & coast directions? Any excessive erosion as asked earlier. Was your rear axle turned 180 deg or just lossened? If bent that would have an affect. Have you chk'd the runout...

Re: Need quick help please - Is the Gates Poly Chain belt unidirectional?!?

[quote user="mdfdwarrior"] Thanx Alan! I never took the rear wheel off and thus never took the rear axle off. I inspected it when I installed the phat rear earlier this year at the beginning of the season and it seemed fine. Do you suspect the rear axle has something to do w/ the belt breaking...

Re: Need quick help please - Is the Gates Poly Chain belt unidirectional?!?

mdfdwarrior ... simply put, NO! a new belt will run either way, no problema! Once the belt has been put into service it becomes unidirectional and that's a fact I install the lettering so that i can read it when i approach the bike from the left side as you did You should have checked your rear axle...

Re: Drive Belt General Info

[quote user="Arizona Warrior"] I tracked this down with a search based on posts by members and by going back thru popular mods. It seemed good to start putting belt brand and part# information in one spot. I'm starting to look for replacement belts just to have one on-hand for my '03...

Re: Drive Belt?

[quote user="Crice"] Does a new drive belt stretch at all. I just changed my rear pully to a 65 tooth. I was told to go with a 128 tooth drive belt. My problem is that I had to adjust the tire just past the last adjustment mark. The belt is tight but there is only an 1/8th of an inch more to...
