exchange When does the Gates Carbon Drive Belt need to be replaced, when do the sprockets need to be replaced? The durability of Carbon Drive System components depends on a number of exterior influences and conditions. The life expectancy of belt drive systems or common bike chains is always shorter in rough and muddy conditions, than when they are used in a dry environment. While the bike chain gets clogged with mud, the Gates Carbon Drive System generally stays clean. If a traditional chain is not lubricated correctly it will have a shorter lifespan. This is not the case with a belt, since it does not need any additional lubrication. 3 Illustration 1: The Gates Carbon Drive System used in a muddy environment Please note: When you first use your new Gates Carbon Drive System, the blue layer on the inside of the belt will wear off quickly. This is no abrasion of the belt. The blue layer is only for production-related purposes. It is a form release agent, used to make it easier to take the belt out of its form during the manufacturing process. It does not influence the function of the belt in any way. Replacing the belt after it has been damaged The Gates Carbon Drive Belt should always be replaced if it has been damaged through improper handling (see examples for improper handling), or if it has been damaged through severe exterior conditions. For example, if a stone, a root, or a piece of clothing has been caught in the belt and has been pulled between belt and sprocket. This can cause damage to the sensitive carbon fibers inside the belt, even if there is no damage visible from the outside. If a belt is damaged in this way or if you assume that there might be damage to the belt, you should always replace it, as it might suddenly rip when the bike is being used, and this can cause an accident or severe injury. www.carbondrivesystems.com 31
