you probably got the "upgraded" pulleys that use two standard belts. Not sure if it was TEC or SLS that did them

twin v belts is standard, not sure if that's what he's describing or not.  Even though they are v belts they do have little teeth on them.  Any chance of a picture?

there not teeth as such there just shaped like "vvvvvvv" so the belt can bend around the pulley but still have all the surfacearea to grip it
