| I am approaching 16,000 miles & plan on replacing the belt. Should I replace the rollers at this time or will they last until the next belt replacement?

| Check the manual to find the service limit measurement. If at or below replace them. I just changed to Dr Pulley sliders and did not measure mine (about 20k mi). For the extra $21 for oem rollers I'd change them, especially if you won't be back under the cover for a while. |

Should I replace the rollers at this time or will they last until the next belt replacement? The rollers should be fine. Clean the rollers and the variator, then inspect them ... upon inspection you determine if new rollers are needed. If new rollers are needed put the old rollers back and order new rollers and change at your convenience. |

| I have over 38,000 miles on my 04 Swing. Im on my third belt and check the rollers every time i open it up. I found the rollers do get flat spots on them, they are cheap and i changed the rollers twice now. |

If you are looking for increased performance, then some people are test mixing 24 gram and 28 gram Dr Pulley Slider. |
