Drive Belt Tensioner
General Information
The drive belt requires periodic inspection and adjustment so that it remains within the tension
specification range as you use the bike. An inspection should include confirmation of the correct
belt tension and that the belt is absent of any cuts, tears, fraying , abrasions or missing teeth. The
roller assembly should turn freely without binding or looseness. If any damage is found, the
conditions must be corrected before the bicycle is ridden again.
The method for inspecting and setting the tension of the belt is defined by the belt manufacturer.
Adjustment
1. See
gatescarbondrive.com
for correct belt tension measurement setting.
2. Loosen mounting bolts (6).
3. Turn adjust screw (9) to set belt tension.
Turn clockwise to increase tension.
Turn counter-clockwise to decrease tension.
4. Tighten the counter nut (8)
5. Tighten bolts (6) to specified torque.
Replacement
Due to the level of mechanical proficiency, skills, and tools required, belt replacement or renewal
should be perfomed only by a professional bicycle mechanic.
In order to place the belt onto the wheel, the rear dropout must be removed and the belt passed
through the small gap between the right seatstay and chainstay. This gap is shown in the
illustration at “Right Dropout” on page 29.
