Belt drives are one of those categories where the selection looks obvious until a belt fails early and you realise it wasn't. CVT belts, cogged V belts, Poly V belts, and timing belts are all "rubber belts with reinforcement" at a surface level. In practice, they're doing fundamentally different jobs, and putting the wrong type on a drive is usually worse than putting no belt at all — because the failure mode is unpredictable.
