those cute round fiber rings with the holes cut in them. They look a little like some kind of plumbing item.
 
not me I'm just trying to figure out if I can find a way to use a bike chain ring as a rear sprocket lol
 
My grandad used to have a bunch of old gin belting. It was very similar to the stuff they make those with...............
 
Do ya'll have any old cotton gins in that part of the country? We used to get it from an oil field company my Dad worked for. They used it turn a big eccentric wheel that ran rod lines back and forth to a bunch of pumpjacks. Do ya'll have any kind of old industries that might use some kind of belting to turn things. I bet theres a ton of it piled up around there somewhere........................
 
Ah I'm gonna call me a plumbing company the thing just smacks of come kind of plumbing washer for a big butted drain pipe.

Now y'all excuse me while I reinvent the wheel.
 
Tire sidewall from an auto tire.
Layers of leather.
Several layers of inner tube.
Or, glue up layers of any of the above...just us good old contact cement to do it.

Any Amish in your area? they use these great wide belts to run everything from a stationary engine....perfect.

Ok you all are refering to the fiber rings behind the rear sprocket. That is made out of old auto or truck tire side walls.
