I have an incredible max belt on my Phazer, It Is three years old and holding up well.
Saturday I went and bought a brand new Max 2. I figured at three years old my belt was due for a change.
I didn't even make it 100 miles and the belt exploded into pieces. I went back to the store and NICELY asked the guy what we could do about it. I can't afford to blow $50 on a belt every weekend.
The Guy called Carlisle,and explained the situation. The guy at Carlisle gave him a mile long spew of B.S. "there is something wrong with his clutching","he needs a higher grade belt" He absolutely refused to do anything about it.
I had to dissassemble the secondary to get the string out.
I now have it back together with the old max, Working perfectly.
I will try a Gates next but, I will never buy another Carlisle.
