I have had a few problems with the q-matic belts. I like the way this gearbox performs when it works correctly. Far superior to the old grubee i had on my bike before. I have went through three belts on this thing. (all supplied by EZM). Makes me scared to take the bike more than a couple miles from my house. In fact I had to peddle 5 mikes back home during the first break down. It would be nice to have a belt that's easy to change on the road instead of tearing apart the whole gearbox.
I hear all this talk about new designs and new belts. I've had to change belts change pulleys try this try that. It's like I'm the tester here. None of this was thought of during the thousands of testing miles for the old design? I know designs change but I wish all this was thought of before I dropped $250 on a gearbox for my bike. I am currently running my own belt I found. And changed a couple things I thought would work. Since then gearbox is working ok and I'm not afraid to ride far anymore.
Bottom line is I would say I want my money back. But what else do I have to choose from? Nothing that compares to the performance of the Q-Matic. Reliability is the problem here.
