I use my Vilano 8 speed bike nearly every morning on my rollers. 5-10 miles daily until the snow is gone. The room where the rollers are is low humidity. Today, before using it I noticed about 6 of these underneath the rollers.
Looking closer at the bike, I found random belt teeth missing.
I've had the bike for 3 years and put at least a thousand miles on a year...so I understand the wear...esp because of the low humidity in the winter.
I called Vilano to see about a new belt. They told me it was unique to that bike.
Looking at the belt..I can't find a number on it, but it clearly says it's a Gates belt.
Any reason why I couldn't find a local car parts shop that has these? If I call around..the first question will be.."what's the number on it?"
If I can't, it will take a few weeks to get one from Vilano.
