I had been having problems with belt squeak with the Gates HD green belt so I recently switched to a Gatorback. So far all has been well as far as the noise issue. I got on the car a little hard today in second and third and started hearing a flapping noise. It ended up being a torn belt. As you can see it is along one rib. My question is...Do you think this was a fluke thing, can this belt not handle a 10 lb lower pulley set-up, or do you think there can be a pulley alignment issue? As anything like this happened to anyone else? Thanks for any info.
