I don't see how DE and CR should differ on this. If a belt expires after 5 years and I can't use it for CR, which has a higher chance of an accident then DE does, then why would you want to use that same belt for 5 more years? Sorry, it just bothers me that people want to go cheap on safety equipment, but are gung ho on go fast goodies.
