Re: Double-sided Timing Belt?

A timing belt does not consist entirely of fibers. You could get into argument that technically a polymer is a mass of twisted "fibers" of molecules, but since we're dealing with the macroscopic scale here I would expect that to be a "no".

I'm more interested in whether or not they clarify whether or not "width" actually means "diameter" and thus throws out webbing or Velcro methods.
