Re: Gates belt theroy questions

Thank you for all of the information. Would the pure calculation or adding a few thousandth to the distance yeild a drive that would be less likely to snap a belt?

Also I have heard that mixing different belt with htd5 pulleys can result in less failure than just using HTD 5. Is there any merit to that?
