Sonofjim...VPI has (or is in the process of having) a new ring for the rim drive....not new belts as I understand it. Shiela promised one to me when its ready...I'll let you know what I think, or you can ask for one for yourself.
VPI SSM with Rim Drive - New belts ???
One of my drive belts just broke on my SSM with the Rim Drive. Has any other members gotten their hands on the new improved silicone drive belts? I have dilemma on my hands. For starters a big Labor Day BBQ. I Crazy Glued the broken belt back together and spun a couple dics. However, both belts show serious cracking. Will the Crazy Glue hold? Most likley not. Suggestions on where to get replacements over night? Thank you in advance for your input.
