Reviews of Gates drive belt

On my 19 I went through the same thing. Finally I bought the Gates 7PK2217 Micro-V because I read somewhere that it was a tiny bit shorter and someone on some forum claimed it stopped their issue. 6 months in and not a peep so fingers crossed

My previous e-bike had a chain and I ended up putting 45,000 kms on it before the frame finally gave out. When it came to the time to purchase the next one I went the drive belt route. I was tired of changing cassettes and chains multiple times a year. So far I have 1800 kms in the belt drive and I don’t miss the chain one bit. No more oiling cleaning etc, just a smooth ride.

I’ve used gates on my superchargered setups and not one has failed

Gates belts are good.

Genuine Gates ones are like what? $30 and 20 mins of work if they are being slow?

Gates is a top OEM brand for belts. Should last 8-10yrs

Gates make a decent one. Can confirm as I did this job 12 months ago and just checked my receipt. Has done 20,000km since with no worries.

Gates belts , if you have a turbo, and blow a belt every 3 rides like me, they replace - no questions asked. Way better than buying a take off or slightly used imo

Get a Toyota belt or one of those gates green belts.

I changed my drive belt tensioner and belt about 1 month ago... I went aftermarket and bought gates for both (for an Accord 2006 A/T). Today, almost an hour into a drive, the belt shredded and the shredded part hit everything and was making a lot of noise. When I looked into it, it seems that one of the strands from the belt has come off... Just strange this issue surfaced after 2000km or so since installing, but maybe it's because the belt has expanded over this time?
