Doesn't the hollow round belting flatten out when installed? Have you had trouble with the little connectors coming out?
In 2011 when we used 1/4" belting for our claw we had no problems with the connectors, however this year with the 3/16" belting it seemed as if we were always losing at least 1 belt because a connector came undone. I would attribute this to more likely too much tension on the belts but nevertheless something to be aware of.
