Hey #cycling #biketooter frens,
I have been using my first Gates belt + sprockets for some 5000km and it is starting to show a little bit of wear, which is of course mostly on the front of the belt "teeth" and the back of the sprocket "teeth".
I am thinking about flipping the belt / sprockets around to distribute the wear and thus extend the lifetime of the components.
Is this a good idea or a bad one? Speculation is welcome, but experience would be best.
