Correct belt tension is essential for optimum functioning of the belt drive so that the belt neither skips nor runs too heavily, thus avoiding increased wear. Common tension adjustment systems include inclined or vertical dropouts, horizontally sliding dropouts (not recommended by Gates) and eccentric bottom brackets.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eFunction:\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eMeasures belt tension\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eType:\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003egauge, special tool\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eGates Carbon Drive System\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstructions:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHang the measuring rod on the belt and place the ruler on both sprockets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the tension: red means increase the tension, yellow means decrease the tension, green means the tension is OK.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDuring tension adjustment, you must maintain the correct alignment of the belt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurn the crank a quarter turn and measure again.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepeat the measurement with subsequent crank rotation several times, as the tension level can be different at different points on the belt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTension recommendations for Gates Carbon Drive are as follows:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-road and urban - soft and even pedalling style: 40-60 Hz (35-45 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-road and urban - strong and hard pedalling style: 60-75 Hz (45-53 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternally geared hubs: 35-50 Hz (28-40 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTandem: 60-65 Hz (45-48 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShimano STEPS: 35-45 Hz (28-35 lbs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gates Carbon Drive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51706829111627,"sku":"210000030546","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/8377\/1979\/files\/141426-00-d-244915.jpg?v=1750606893","url":"https:\/\/www.simplebikestore.eu\/products\/gates-carbon-drive-eco-tension-tester","provider":"Simple Bike Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
