Ordered the belt on Ebay based on the specs on the M100 FAQ. An 8.5" belt
will require about an inch of stretch, but I suppose that is normal? I
measured the belt path and came up with 9.5".

Club100 sells the replacement belts. Let me check the archives and see
if we have the specs so you can buy it directly if necessary.
