None, none, none, none, none, none, none and none.

Okay, I'm a bit overdue with this post.  I promised back in February I'd give an update on the Gates belt after 1,000 miles of use.  Well I passed that mark some time ago ... here's the update, albeit late.

I duly report, that I have nothing to duly report.  Not. A. Thing.  Nothing, nil, nada, zilch, squat!

Problems:  None
Adjustments:  None
Maintenance: None
Lubrication: None
Noise: None
Greasy Pant Legs: None
Cleanings: None
Visible Wear:  None

The belt has replaced the most tended part on my bike, the chain, with one of the least tended parts.  I don't even think about it (much) ... you know ... like not thinking to post an update.  Admittedly, its not as far in the back of my mind as the little nuts on the valve stems, but its close.  And yes, bike snobs, I still use those little valve stem nuts.
