What's the application? Speeds? Is it a continuous belt?
I would suggest looking into
brushable urethane.
1114 used it on their rollers in 2014. While not the same application, it shows that it is relatively durable and has grip. Rivets might work but you would have to turn a channel in the center of the pulley so it doesn't cause any interference. Standard epoxy would be to brittle and I don't have enough experience with flexible adhesives to touch on that.
