Why do think that? The bike has done 300 miles from new and the belt, sprocket and front ring is in perfect condition. Gates have acknowledged it is a well known issue and as such even changed the whole design of their cycle belt drive system from CDC to CDX - resulting in far less tension being needed for zero skipping.
The bottom bracket is in good order and the freehub spins freely when the belt is disconnected.
FYI I've found a supplier of 130mm fixed wheel set for £90 here....

With sealed bearing no less. I just need to check the belt/chain line before ordering.
Thanks for the replies though.
