did a little search. Seems to me that they now only carry other brands. Looks to be high end mufflers for cars and bikes. Not their brand. I think that they may now sell, or always did?, or make drag wheels for what might be heavy modified applications in both four and two wheel varieties.
Two seperate web pages. Both called cycle shack. Weird

First priority is to find out what caused the grove and sort that out - best done with your current belt rather than a nice new one! If you are planning the trip of a lifetime it would be worth changing, but until then just keep a check on its condition. I suffered a wound in a belt some years ago, different to yours, but the belt was fine for quite a mileage until the wound started to spread, which prompted me to change then.
