Slow Monster rebuild

That's gratifyingly cheap actually.
If they are actually rated as single use, I would agree that replacement makes loads of sense, at that price.

Funnily enough, belts sawing through covers was the reason I had to disturb mine.
But this was down to a drive pulley with a manufacturing fault.
Lucky I spotted it, shortly after buying the bike with 2k miles on it.
Previous mechanics (two previous belt changes) had somehow managed to overlook the piles of black dust behind the covers and the grooves sliced into the plastic.
