The last two years we have used 15mm belt and exact center to center and we have not had to change a belt at all. We have also been using a fairly large pulley (27 teeth) and this year I think that we may want to decrease the pulley size. I am wondering what teams are using timing belt for the drive train successfully and what their set-up is. Specifically Timing Belt width, type, and pulley size.

Thanks!
