Spree: Looking for new belt.
My spree is rolling 5k miles so I decided its time to replace the belt. Am I right in thinking a bit wider would yield me a tiny bit of top end?
Today I tried a 24x.5 non-cogged but it was simply to tight to electric or kick start. Im thinking 24.5x.5 cogged belt would be my best bet.. Any input?

Re: Spree: Looking for new belt.
You want a longer belt so it will ride higher in the front drive face, which gives you a higher gear ratio, hence higher top speed.ahook93 wrote:isnt the ax24 26" long?Bear45-70 wrote:Stock belt is 628mm X 11.4 mm X 30 or 24.7244ÔÇØ X .4488ÔÇØahook93 wrote:maybe ax23 its 25in

Re: Spree: Looking for new belt.
ok i will start looking for an ax24. thank you
Re: Spree: Looking for new belt.
AX23 is definitely too short as I have one sitting in my garage right now with an AX24 on the bike.
Re: Spree: Looking for new belt.
will the ax24 still be good size even if I do the pulley mod? I wont be taking a crazy amount off the pulley
Re: Spree: Looking for new belt.
When doing the pulley mod you take off more than you need to and then shim the pulley to the right width. However I would not do the pulley mod using the wider belt.ahook93 wrote:will the ax24 still be good size even if I do the pulley mod? I wont be taking a crazy amount off the pulley
