Review on Gates K060923 Multi V Groove Belt by Erik Snyder

It says "Gates" but it doesn't look like Gates. It's raw and lacks the finesse I associate with Gates. The rubber feels too soft, like it hasn't properly cured, and there are imperfections and blemishes on its surface. The grooves are not well defined and don't seem precise enough. The stretch "run" was quite pronounced. I can't say anything about durability yet. If it takes as long as it needs to I add a star, if it fails prematurely I subtract a star. See you in a year or four.
