My cyclepedia manual says to inspect at 12000 and 24000 miles.

Lists drive belt width at 28.9mm and a service limit at 27.9mm

My first belt lasted over 30,000 mile. But all I do is tour. I would not recommend doing this much miles on the belt if you do very much city driving. I think 25,000 is a good time to replace. You can also pop off the varator cover and measure the width.  :-*
