Have you noticed that the person making the crazy statement disappered after making it.
Not crazy - back now after a delightful couple of days in Nuremberg [and their airport doesn't close when there's snow!] and busy catching up at work.
I've been called a lot of things in my time, but never been libelled as a 'troll'! Apart from the brainless insults [how many of you insulters have physics 'A' level?] I am delighted with the debate so far. The most sensible contribution [as usual..and I don't know him/her at all] has come from 'unthrottled' - I guess probably a male.
I appreciate toothed cambelts don't 'slip' but there are actually tiny 'slips' of sliding friction as the metal teeth engage and disengage, and I contend that a bit of belt dressing might help to keep it from getting less brittle and dry with age. It's worked so far.
One of the key posts in this thread was the observation that the old belt looked as good as the new one. Let's hope it was made and fitted properly - there are numerous reports of belts dutifully and needlessly replaced which then fail within a mere 30,000 or so.
