Sqeaky Pulley... Again!!
About 6 months ago I finally got around to changing out my Stock rear pulley for a pulley from BDL. It had been squeaky for months cause the teeth had been munched to chit. Replaced the belt at the same time, and all was good and right in the world.
2 mornings ago, riding home from work, dang thing starts squeaking again, as noisy as ever! Teeth aint munched as I had a look at it about a week prior. Belt looks ok as well. I'll try adusting it to see if I can make the squeak go away.
I am thinking it may be cold weather related, Overnight temps here only just recently started dropping below zero (centigrade), and I have to park outside when at work on night shift, perhaps the belt is contracting a bit in the cold.... Trouble is the squeak seems to have decided it wants to be there all the time. And this didnt creep up on me, it wasnt there one day, next morning it was.
opinions anyone??

definitely sounds like the belt is out of adjustment or the axle isnt aligned properly.
I've ridden in temps and parked in temps below 0C, (23-25F) and had never once herd my belt squeak.
