Or take your old belt to an auto supply and ask for an automotive quality
belt. Some automotive belts have notches cut out of the inner surface,
perpendicular to the rotation of the belt, this allows the belt to bend
around tighter radius pulleys.


AKA "cog belt"



Cog belts are typically timing belts that engage a gear type pulley.
The notched I am talking look similar but are v-shaped and do not engage
teeth on a pulley.
