Hello, new guy here. I have had a Minoura RDA 80 trainer for a long time, and was replacing my second belt on it. The first replacement belt came from the local bike shop, which has since closed up. I ordered online a K16 V belt that seemed to be what was called for when I googled it, but the new one is so tight that I had a heck of a time reassembling the thing. (It took my wife and I both, and a really big screwdriver to pry the sucker to get the belt on.) Well, the thing is so tight, that the roller wont even turn when I peddle. I don't really feel like working THAT hard!

I really wonder if the K16 is correct, or if there is something a little bigger to buy? Any help is appreciated. I ride recreationally in the summer, but like using my Minoura with the bike in the garage in the winter.

Thanks for any advice!
