My cush drive was due for replacement a while ago. Last year I shimmed it with small squares of inner-tube, not because I'm cheap but because I was tight on time. I've got a new TBS cush drive waiting for it now.
I've tried all kinds of things on the belt to quiet it. They never lasted very long.
That's why I wondered if I'm "pot committed." I've already paid for the belt drive and a couple spare belts. It's probably worth spending a few more hundred to be done with it for the life of the bike.
