Didn't realise they were making thread on pulleys now.
I'v had my District for about a year and a half now and it's probably had the belt on it for about half that time.
I switched it out for a chain and cogs to alter gearing to use it for polo and rebuilt the rear wheel with a standard Deore mtb disc hub so i could use a 6bolt cog with the chain to make the bike fixed but found the bb height extremely low so it's now back to belt drive freewheel.
I got some belt line issues with the original hub (narrow singlespeed specific freehub body) that gave me a bit of noise if i pedaled hard but since switching to the Deore hub that has a larger freehub body and thus, more adjustability, the noise has gone.
Love the belt, was great when i was out with mate the other night who was complaining about the wet weather ruining his new NJS track chain. I just laughed at him.
