So here’s some good news about belt life.
- On Harley motor bikes, the belt which replaced the chain extends life from 20,000 miles to 100,000 miles.
- When I bought my Bridgestone Lacrosse belt-drive commuter bike in Japan, the shop-keeper laughed when i asked about belt life. Through my trusty translator friend, he explained the belt will outlast the bike.
- Fast-forward to 2009 - I now have 5830 miles on that Bridgestone, riding every day to work, and the belt looks unworn!
- I now have a (Xmas pesent) Strida 5 with 0 miles on it, I’ll keep you posted…
cheers.
Chris.
