Biking yesterday with my Vilano belt-drive 8 speed.
I had gone about 8 miles out when the belt drive started a small hesitation when pedaling. Looked at it closely and saw a few teeth missing.
Turned around and headed back...the further I went, the more it was skipping.
By the 8th mile back...it was hardly engaging at all.
Called Vilano and they are sending out two new belts asap. The second one will be a spare.
See the pic for how many teeth I lost.
