Nice work, friend. Please keep us updated and let us know how the budget-friendly version holds up over time.
I had to use my Dremel tool to grind down some of the sharper edges. It took a few hours tweaking the size to get it right, but now it fits well. The lining is proving tricky because it doesn't want to stay put; I've used electrical tape on the trouble spots for now and will glue everything permanently once I'm sure about the fit. There are also rivets included that can replace bolts if needed. Since this belt was inexpensive, I expect to make changes as time goes by. The solid band running up my backside with a hole in it is quite uncomfortable when sitting down. I might swap it out for a single rubber-coated chain instead, especially since I sit at work all day.
Welcome aboard! What are your initial thoughts on the new belt?
@Calcaster Does it dig into your thighs while walking or running? It looks pretty wide to me.
It hasn't been digging in when I walk, and I haven't tried running with it yet. That photo was taken during the early fitting stages. The fit has improved a bit since then; I'll take another picture tonight once I get home.
