I know... Belts are better, but we don't seem to get along with them.
We're always a quarter of an inch off in our builds (oh, that cursed quarter of an inch), and with belts being unresizable and barely stretchable, that's a big problem for us.
We also have to make changes often, and having to take the entire set of wheels down every time you want to move the belt is a hugh waste of time (not to talk about the mess and nerves the spacers create).
