TIMBERSLED BELT DRIVE SPARE BELTS - TKI CNC
Poly Chain GT Carbon Belts — Nothing Tougher. Fits TKI Timbersled Belt Drive. The patented use of Carbon Fiber as the tensile cord in this belt provides increased horsepower rating for greater power density and compactness and increased flexibility, allowing the use of backside idlers.tkicnc.com
No, I didn't.Do you get a spare when you snow check? My Yeti snow check came with a spare belt.

I don't know, an e-mail or call might be a start. I went down the same road in my situation.Does this fit the new Timbersled QDT? I assumed this only worked with their system.
“Several belts” Sounds expensive.My plan prior to switching brands was to have a chain drive set-up in the pickup for the just in case event. You can get a chain and sprockets for just over $100 USD. The QDT belt is somewhat fragile in how it needs to be transported, you can't bend it too tight or it's no good, and a broken belt is usually associated with a broken belt cover, with a broken belt cover it often takes several belts to make it out of the backcountry.

Snow ingestion kills belts.Why does a leaky cover destroy belts?
I am really starting to wonder why I went with this belt drive. So far I have learned this belt will be:
1. Less reliable
2. WAY more expensive
3. Spare belts will be difficult to carry a spare of
4. If the belt gets snow on it, it will blow the belt
5. Does not drop panties any better than a chain
Are the marginal gains in throttle response really worth it?
Are we sure that the sprockets will fit in place of the belt pulleys? Seems like carrying sprockets, chain and chain idler is the only real solution.
Same here, 13 tooth sprocket just barely rubbed on Riot 3/ 2023 FC450. I filed down the guide a bit and moved the guide back as much as it would go. About an 1/8" clear now.
Nope, seen many chains break too.I am really starting to wonder why I went with this belt drive. So far I have learned this belt will be:
1. Less reliable
Yes, fair statement.2. WAY more expensive
Nope. Not that bad. Don’t kink it or wrap it wrong way, etc. Even if you have one in the trailer, someone could ride for it if need be. They are reliable unless you do things like run it at wrong tension, get it oily, etc. TheTimbersled belt looks heavier that the Yeti belts and they rarely break.3. Spare belts will be difficult to carry a spare of
Meh, not really an issue. If you break a belt case possibly an issue but that’s rare and you can usually ride out.4. If the belt gets snow on it, it will blow the belt
Yep. Roll with the belt drive. When you know, you know.5. Does not drop panties any better than a chain
Yes. I think so. In a light relatively low HP machine that drive inertia is noticeable. The belt is more efficient and the light weight parts have much less rotational inertia which you can feel. Think heavy flywheel effect. It’s not going to be OMG, 50 HP! More so a subtle difference that is all round better and riding in the trees and and tight spaces is much more fun.Are the marginal gains in throttle response really worth it?
