I just got my new F-2 set-up out to the track a few times and I'm having some belt problems. At first I was throwing belts, but now I seem to have things aligned better and the belt is staying on, BUT I can't make it past the 1/8 mile mark without stripping all of the cog teeth off of the belt!!! I'm running a 50 mm cog set-up, a Gates Powergrip GT2 # 14408MGT50, and 70/36 cogs.
I made two passes ( actually only half passes ) the other night and stripped two brand new belts clean.
Am I possibly overtightening the belt, causing it to tear itself apart???
Is the rubber belt just not strong enough and I need to switch to a Polychain ( kevlar ) belt??
This is my first cog set-up, up until now I've had serp. belts, so any help/info would be greatly appeciated.
THANKS ALOT,
RICH
