I'm sure you other canucks are aware that shipping anything into Canada via anything but USPS will cost you lots of brokerage fees. There are apparently other international options from the big shippers but they coincide with an increase in up front shipping costs. With USPS, you'll pay around $5 (I've heard $7 recently) brokerage fee plus taxes on the items (which you would pay buying over here anyway).

The guy who was selling these for $50 had one left. I just got one ordered... That should cover me for the season...

$46.17 South Seattle Sports Plaza. About $60cdn to my door. I get 2 in the fall and 2 in Feb. If I take er easy that should get me through the winter. I also order a couple of the front brackets for the shroud cause every time the belt explodes it trashes the bracket.
Why are you using so many belts? They are bullit proof and I put one at the beginning of the year and when I take the ols one off it looks like new and mics out in spec. You have aliagnment problems or need to run the sled on a track lift in the morning hayastusad. I also wash the new belt with soap and water and just cruise for the first 30 miles.

I rode machs for 17 years and used to go thru belts so fast....that was the worst thing about those machs,the belts were tons of money and id need two or three belts per season!
My apex never has blown a belt or hurt a belt,i do change them out each season but the ones i remove still look awesome.
I remember thinking i wish the yammie had a easy belt removal tool built into the 2ndary like my MACHs had,but now i realize i dont need that tool!....but the machs sure needed it cause you were changing them so much!
BTW i like that idea of 12mm wrench to twist 2ndary to change belt...very slick,gonna try that next time!

I've never been on a groomed trail, so I don't know how long a belt would last unde those circumstances, but off trail I get 400 - 1500 milles to a belt, depending on how much fun I'm having. They just disappear leaving only string wrapped around my clutches. I'm just not buying the algnment story...probably because I don't understand it and I've never done anything that would cause a mis-alignment.
