how much tension are you putting on the belts? are you shortening them to 10 % like mcmaster says? what color are the belts (green, orange, clear)?

I think mcmaster is suggesting something that is overkill with that 10% try decreasing the tension on the belts....from what I understand the green cord is harder and has a rougher surface, would switching belts be an option?

good luck
