Any idea of the sustainability of the Gates Carbon Drive system? Looks like it's made of polymer + carbon fiber. On the other hand, traditional chains eat+shed oil and grease.

My Gates carbon belt is like new after 8 years riding my Schindelhauer Siegfried. I seem to remember 10 years quoted when I bought it.
