I can't seem to find any reviews on these guys... how r the belts.. the price is way way cheap!!!

I have not tried these particular belts, but the price is right. With free shipping...not bad. Only trying the belt will tell the tale. Maybe someone has used this belt and will give a report back.

I get all of my belts from these guys. They get it to you in a few days. They were the only guys that had one for my Fashion. I have never had one break, and they wear well. However, I do pony up for the more expensive belt. The bargain belt might be a lemon but I can't comment on them since I've never bought one.

I ordered from them about 3 months ago for a backup, same belt pictured. It arrived quickly. Looks and feels good, but I haven't installed it yet. Note that the belt that is shown and being sold is their standard belt. The copy in the ad above it says that they now carry a premium belt, but the one being sold is the standard.

I have a 2008 Roketa 54B Cypress. Can you tell me the belt I need so I can order one now and have it when needed?
Thanks

I got my belt today.. it is not the best quality for sure... but a good belt to try out what I need it for.. very easily bends and super easy to turn inside out.. if your lookin for a belt to LAST.. I WOULD reccomend something better

I have a Gates Powerlink 856-23 and I can not turn it inside out or bend it easily. What belt did you receive?

[jenningsjosh]

[jenningsjosh]

(up) NEW BELT
(down) OLD BELT

It looks like the old belt measures the same thing. As Rich discovered these belts have secret measurements that don't correspond to any known dimension. It looks, by your pictures that the old and new belt are about the same allowing for stretch in your old one.

In real numbers your old belt measures 34 3/8 inches and the new one 34 1/4 indicating 1/8 inch of stretch.

[jenningsjosh]

just doesnt seem right.... i was told my belt old belt was 3/4 of an inch too long...... now this one measures pretty much the same?....

The thickness is for sure different... OLD being thicker

WHATS THAT SAYING YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR Get a Gates and or GATES PREIMUM or BANDO from JAPAN. Sellers out there by lots of the cheap belts to sell, can you imagine they charged you $20.00 i would bet they paid $5.00 per belt.

Everyone said the belt should be a 856 and you apparently have a 871 belt on there. So yea the difference between a 856 and a 871 is about 3/4 of an inch difference.
So put it on and see how it does, either don't put it on and send it back and or call them and tell them they sent the wrong belt IF you ordered the 856.
