or silicone spray. Run the chain around a couple of times,
forwards and backwards, to spread the oil well. Remove
excess lubricant with a dry cloth.
7.3 Repairs
Is your chain worn out and due for replacement? We
recommend you buy a chain of the same make and type.
Take care to ensure the chain has the same number of links
and is of the same roller width.
7.4 Belt drive adjustment
The belt drive system
(see fig. 73)
is suitable for all weather
conditions which means it can be used all year round.
Take care to ensure that the belt is not distorted or under
tension, due for instance to an object resting on the belt
when you park the bike.
Insufficient tension can cause “skipping”. When skipping,
the belt teeth slide over the sprockets and it feels like
wheel spin to the cyclist. Skipping poses a risk of injury.
Excessive pretension can result in increased component
wear due to overloading. The bottom bracket and rear hub
bearings can be damaged in this way.
The optimum belt tension is approx. 75 N. This equates to a
maximum belt deflection of 25 mm with a 5 kg load applied
vertically at the midpoint of the top span. We recommend
you go to your Gazelle specialist to have your belt drive
tension set.
If you still want to tension your belt drive yourself, please
refer to the special belt drive manual at
