Reasonably so. Check it occasionally and it will usually give you fair warning before catastrophic failure. I have never had one crater on me on the road. Have usually noticed deterioration before failure. --- On Sun, 8/23/09, atx <atx_bus@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: atx <atx_bus@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tcb] Re: Generator pulley?

So it's an easy enough fix, and worth carrying a spare, but is failure of this part common?
