pulley. want to get a real "v" belt sheave (is that the correct
terminology?) to go on the shaft with the step pulleys. the large
(aluminum) sheave i have now doesn't have a "v" groove, it's a narrow
*flat*
belt sheave.

Flat belts are good even if they don't look modern


thanks. my intent is to go to a power transmission shop and get a
(contiuous) reinforced rubber flat belt to put on the step pulleys (instead
of the laced leather belt) i am assuming the rubber can transmit more power
than the leather. (and look cool too)
