I was leery of them too but if you use fresh super glue and cut at an angle they work quite well. Just glue an O-Ring together sometime and test how strong it is.
But as I mentioned, on a motor drive Zenith, I would use Adams belts. I used to buy O-Rings from a local place here in town but they didn't last long at all, they would crack and eventually break. I think the Adams belts must be much better because I haven't heard anyone complain about them.
