Speaking of your kit. Thought I'd share what I found recently. Don't know if you recall but I mentioned that I had an unusual loud whining noise after switching to your kit. Turns out some parts of the belt had sections of the sepertine teeth missing.

I ended up checking all idlers, 2 of them had bad bearings, 1 was atrocious and probably the reason for the noise (it was the smooth idler, not the 2 grooved ones). Could this have caused the damage with my belt or did the belt make the bearings worse?

Also, since as of tomorrow I'm a Boosted Performance Snail member, the SC kit is for sale, but I'd like to replace the belt for the unknown buyer. What is the belt model?


Cheers,
