yes

 

That was a firm yes

 

Didn

didnt even use CAPS
There is a bloke on e sk8 builders that tried a range of belts. Might be worth a read

 

Thanks Zero.

Just bought the 245 = 49 teeth and will report back on the new belts.

They should work as 5mm is not a great deal.

 

what size belt should I look for my bamboo GT with the at set up? Thanks

 

D&D PowerDrive 360-5M-15 Timing Belt

 

Just found original Gates Powergrip belts on www.zamro.be. The only thing is, for now they only deliver in Belgium, but who knows if they will be shipping in Europe soon.
Got the 360-5M-15 for € 11,3 (incl. tax) and the 255-5M-15 for € 10,10 (incl. tax)... the 250-5M-15 was not available but 5mm extra won't matter much I suppose. If not I can always return them

 

Just double checking before I buy and also I'm new around here. Purchased a Bamboo GT street about a month ago and just wanting to stock up some belts (shipping will take a while together to me in New Zealand) I found these Free shipping 10pcs/lot HTD 5M Timing Belt Closed loop 250mm length 50 teeth 12mm width-in Transmission Belts from Home Improvement on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group they are 245mm 5m 12mm wide (10 for $21.07 NZD) will these fit and run well on my board?

 

Interested in this as well, also based in NZ and the evolve distributor has not yet stocked any spare parts which is pretty poor.

 

With some further looking i found these 5 pieces HTD5M belt 250 5M 15 Teeth 50 Length 250mm Width 15mm 5M timing belt rubber closed loop belt 250 HTD 5M S5M Belt Pulley-in Transmission Belts from Home Improvement on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group the same thing but 15mm wide if that is what they are supposed to be? slightly more costly as you only get 5 for the same price

 

Has anyone tried these out?

 

Does anyone know if these will fit the Carbon model with AT wheels on??

 

What about these belts?

 

Hey rennwerkes, I can recommend getting these belts for Evolve's standard 32T gears directly from Romp themselves (they only supply the correct belt size for 32T, with no option for the 38T). They sell a pair of belts (not priced individually as per Evolve) for $23.95. I have been using a pair on my Carbon GT with my Abec 97's, since the end of June. The quality is of a very high standard & when I placed my order I went for two pairs to give myself a spare set for the future.

The link for Romp is: Shop

 

Thanks for the suggestion!
These will save 50%+ on belts compared to stock Evolve belts.
Great forum!

 

Hey, no problem glad to be able to pass on to you and any other GT owners, that these are a very solid replacement for the original Evolve belts at a much more realistic price. As previously stated, I have given them three months of use now and probably clocked up at least 200-300kms with no issues. I highly recommend them and you will not be disappointed with the quality!

 

245 5 15 so this would be for the street setup
360 5 15 and this world she for the ya setup

Am correct with this ?
Do they have to be made of any special material ?
