Belt breaks and now runs rough starting from stop.

I can see if the belt breaks, the movable variator face might be able to move towards the drive pulley face enough for the rollers to move around or may be even fall out but not sure how a person replacing the belt could do that.

The rollers are bigger in diameter than they are wide so they can only sit down in the roller channels one way. I tried putting a roller rotated 90 degrees in the channel and it just sits on top and won't drop down in any position at all. The roller would ride so high that it would be really tough to get the belt on and if it could be done, the belt would be forced into the outer most edge for the drive pulley.

Festus, you were right!

It does appear that when the belt broke it allowed the worn rollers to move out of place. They were all worn down on one side. I dressed them a bit rounder with a file. The bike runs great!!

It took me longer to replace the belt cover with the gasket than pulling and fixing the rollers!

Seeing how worn the rollers were, I think I should replace them. Can you point me to the set of sliders that you used? There are just WAY too many options for rollers.

Thanks again,

Bill
