2 years or 12000mls and i think that is just being safe i inspected mine when they came out after 2 years and they were like new no mishaping or chafing bike was used nearly every weekend.
when they get put away for the winter (mine wasn't ) or are stored thats when they get affected you are probably talking months for them to go like the ones in Henners pic .
I think people get paranoid after hearing scare stories about them from uninformed sources, as was said previously the belts may be cheap but fitting them ain't as not all of us are able to do it
