There seems to be some variance in belt thickness between suppliers that allows the belt belt to be too loose. The best fix I have found so far is using a "shim". Once the belt is installed slide a thin flat shim behind one side of the belt. This will push the teeth together better. I tried three materials with good results.
I tried a slice of a business card, playing card and a junk mail post card. They all worked fine and the belt could not be pulled out. I see on another post that a thin piece of aluminum was used.
I am looking into a getting the right size loop and making a different design, but all pre-orders will ship with the existing design.
