The one you linked is NEITHER "solid" nor "linked". See Fenner,
et al for those and LOWER your expectations for serious use.
The one linked is "solid" as to "continuous", but in the "gripnotch" family.
Made with "inside" relief notches so as to distort the sidewalls less when wrapped around a sheave highly undersized from optimal. As shiddy-liddle Dee Pee DO on their worst-end cone-pulleys. And near-as-dammit ALWAYS.
Go do yer homework. Gates rubber site and "not only"for engineering expectations and belt type / pulley size performance.

Or go ogle "Goodyear gatorback vee belt":

You want to do something USEFUL? Convert your DP to MicroVee/PolyVee AKA "serpentine" belt. Cheaper than a "toothed belt".
Those are waaaay better at wrapping around too-DAMNED-tiny sheave diameters and still transmitting useful power.
Auto industry is "cheapskaticious". Not necessarily the same as "stoopiditious".
Serpentine JFW. By the hundreds of millions of units... over many long years. Already.
Cheaper way to improve a DP is to apply a VFD or DC Drive. Then abandon regular use of the extreme smallest end on each of the cone/step pulleys.
