I do and it does work pretty well BUT: The pulley seems to wobble a bunch. It is hard plastic but I don't think it seats all that well. I measured the shaft runout and it is not a factor, in fact it is extremely stable. I wonder if I can get a metal one (none on STM site) or have a way to secure it better and reduce the wobble. Anyone else notice this? | ||

I have a Rebel 17 and had some issues with mine breaking belts....I contacted STM and they provided me replacement belts and told me I was over loading my unit....You might want to contact STM and explain the problem. They were very very nice when I contacted them and provided the replacement belts at no charge...Just a thought...Mark | |||

schulz...I have two and have never had a problem with either one. Both run really smoothly. Hope you can get that issue resolved... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

Update: I pushed the pulley in as far as it would go up against a locking snap ring. That made a small gap on the other side of the pulley and that retaining snap ring. I put a thin washer in between and lucky enough it was a good fit. Now since the pulley is on tighter and straighter (I assume) it seems to be running with less wobble. It still has some but I believe it is because the pulley is hard plastic and not metal. Better now anyway. | |||

Thanks, you know I did try to call them but nobody was home, it was late Friday. Actually the reason for the thread was that I broke my belt. I already ordered a couple more but now I have to wait for the belt to get it back up and running.  Hopefully, I won't have anymore problems. | |||

Got the new belt in and it now is running pretty smooth. Combo of pushing the wheel in tight and the new more pliable belt. Running good now.  | |||
