If you can see the wear, that is bad. These things are designed with specific angles, and smooth surfaces for a reason. There is nothing cosmetic about a variator, it is a working part of your transmission normally never exposed or visible until you take things apart and every part of it from the ramps the sliders roll on to the circumference and angles of the surfaces even the outside are all taken into account when designing these to keep yoru crank balanced and transmission from abnormally wearing down itself and the parts around it. I hear ya, but I dont think it really looks like wear, it felt flat, I thought it just looked like it's normal color change from the belt but who knows 0.3 mm is not that much and across the width of the drive face could be barely perceptible. The real test is to put a metal straight edge from center to the edge of the drive face and see how thick a feeler gauge fits between the straight edge and the drive face. If you can fit a 0.3 mm feeler gauge in anywhere between the drive face and the straight edge then the drive face is worn out. |

Duration is also a factor . . .

I wish I tuned my 161Qmk wit115mm variator. I rushed in some 14x38 gears. I would have loved to know how it would have tuned
