3. Provides enough belt wrap so that I haven't noticed any belt slip (yet).
I spent time behind the Autozone counter and could not find a suitable smooth pulley but this works so I don't need the pulley!
Thanks Ryououki! 
Glad that I actually helped out the great tighed1.
As much as you have offered to this forum, it's nice to know I offered something to you.
Have you gotten on it really hard yet? I haven't had a chance to fully test out this configuration for an extended period.
