Treadmill belt 'slipping'?

generally this could be one of a few issues. It could be as simple as you may need to retension the belt to allow for some stretch over time. You may require a new drive vee belt (typically £10~15) if this does not work. Alternatively the actual drive roller may be slipping on the shaft. This can be fixed by redrilling and tapping holes to secure the drive roller with new cap head bolts (secure with lok tight on bolts used). The worst case scenario is that the shaft on the motor has sheared in two (this has occured on mine) and tyically a new motor is around £150.
