Thegates belts are extremely stiff when new and can have a habit of flying off very easily , even with a good tensioner/roller set, but with any , even the slightest wear at all, forget it, those babies will go dancing . A Dayco is thinner and much more forgiving and will ride on wobly bits, but they dont last as long
