Will carbon or glass fibers in nylon printed pulleys destroy belts

I'm having a hell of a time printing timing pulleys with a large flat surface using bare nylon, even on a petg raft.  I've had much better luck with CF PA, but I heard that the fibers can destroy belts.  Is that correct?

Just rub over the bearing surfaces with fine wet and dry paper used wet - once the surface fibres are gone wear will be slowed to the rate at which fibres are exposed as the matrix wears - ie. slowly.

Cheerio,
