exchangeWhen 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 exteriorinfluences and conditions. The life expectancy of belt drive systems or common bikechains is always shorter in rough and muddy conditions, than when they are used in a dryenvironment. While the bike chain gets clogged with mud, the Gates Carbon Drive Systemgenerally stays clean. If a traditional chain is not lubricated correctly it will have a shorterlifespan. This is not the case with a belt, since it does not need any additional lubrication.3Illustration 1:The Gates Carbon DriveSystem used in a muddyenvironmentPlease note:When you first use your new Gates Carbon Drive System, the blue layer on the insideof the belt will wear off quickly. This is no abrasion of the belt. The blue layer is only forproduction-related purposes. It is a form release agent, used to make it easier to take thebelt out of its form during the manufacturing process. It does not influence the function ofthe belt in any way.Replacing the belt after it has been damagedThe Gates Carbon Drive Belt should always be replaced if it has been damaged throughimproper handling (see examples for improper handling), or if it has been damagedthrough severe exterior conditions. For example, if a stone, a root, or a piece of clothinghas been caught in the belt and has been pulled between belt and sprocket. This can causedamage to the sensitive carbon fibers inside the belt, even if there is no damage visiblefrom the outside. If a belt is damaged in this way or if you assume that there might bedamage to the belt, you should always replace it, as it might suddenly rip when the bike isbeing used, and this can cause an accident or severe injury.www.carbondrivesystems.com31
