      If the exact same problem came back after only 50K, you either didnt clean it all out properly or the paper they are using is too dusty, causing excessive dust buildup around the inside bead of the belt. I see this often. Clients using cheaper paper need more work on their machines than those using good quality stuff. The paper dust on a C-Dragon or Venus belt causes this issue all the time. You would have seen it when you dismantled the belt unit last time.

        I think the rubber footing on the outer edges of the belt crumbling away, is more of a problem with inside contamination rater than paper dust, if it came back soon after I'd say a new belt is needed.
        Where the heck is my spring hook?

          Good point Nachoman, but I've always found the C-Dragon/Venus belt inside bead to be a different material to the other MX belts. They tend to not crumble apart, more of start to crack in one spot, then eventually the belt surface tears at that point, with obvious toner spraying out each rotation past the cleaning blade.
          The other series MX belts have a different belt material and yes, the bead can become a little fragile after a long life.

          Jay hasnt mentioned the page or day counter of the belt unit, so I'm guessing its old anyway.
