This year we are switching to nitrile in an attempt to avoid that.
Short answer: belts might be just fine, but we are going with what we know works this time.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
