There really is no need to be paying $12+ bucks for a cassette drive belt.

Most forsale just take advantage of the fact that they know the belt length and width, you don’t and for that you end up paying exponentially more.

All you need to know is that the drive belt is a square belt that is 16mm circumference and 1.2mm wide.

It will be sold as – BELT SQUARE, SBS-16.0, Square Belt Small 16.0″ (SBS 16.0) 1.2mm Thickness or even SBS16.0 Belt SCX16.0 Square Cut. They are all synonymous.

These belts really only cost about $1-3 dollars each.

To change the belt, follow this video to remove the cassette mechanism:

CM5905 and CM5907

Cm5908

Then remove these two screws:

Simply pull the belt off and install the new one; the belts are elastic.
