3a. Belt driven bike

Important: A loose belt will increase the risk of

injury due to slipping and a highly over-tightened

belt can cause damage to the ball bearings of the

drive system and lead to excessive wear.

Correcting the belt tension:

To correct a loose belt: To adjust the belt, pull

off the right and the left maintenance covers (A).

Loosen the axle nut (B) on both ends of the

flywheel axle two full turns. Loosen the outer

adjustment nut (C) facing the head of the allen bolt

on each side of the flywheel. Then, turn both (right

and left sides) of the inner adjustment nuts (D) on

the inside of the flywheel bracket 1/4 of a turn at a

time (upward on the R side and downward on

L side) until the belt is properly adjusted and does

not slip. Make sure to turn both adjustment

screws exactly the same amount to avoid

misalignment of the flywheel.

Finally, retighten the two outer adjustment nuts (C)

and the two axle nuts (B), and reattach the

maintenance covers. To avoid damage to the

flywheel bearings, do not over tighten the

axle nuts (B). Unusual noises, roughness or

vibrations are indications that the belt has been

over tightened, the flywheel or bottom bracket

bearings are damaged or that the flywheel is at an

angle.

3b. User safety

To ensure user safety, frequently check if belt is

firmly tightened and does not slip while riding

under a resistance load. If the belt slips, proceed

using the same technique as described above.

Please note that a belt drive gear never shows slack

but will slip if not properly tightened. In case of a

misalignment, the belt will show extensive wear.

Please check the wear on the belt every 3 months

of use and replace if necessary.

Please avoid getting lubrication fluid in

contact with the belt, the drive gear pulleys or

any component of the belt drive system since

this will highly increase the risk of slipping.
