9 Belt drive

In addition to the commonplace chain drive, there are also belt drives available for

cycles.

x If you lack the necessary expertise and the tools required to adjust or maintain a

belt drive, have the drive checked and adjusted by your dealer.

9.1 Belt drive structure

A belt drive consists of a front and a rear

pulley, plus a belt which may be made from

various plastics depending on the belt model.

To prevent the belt running off the pulleys,

each pulley has a side flange. On the front

pulley, the side flange is located on the

outside. On the rear pulley, the side flange is

located on the inside. Belt drives are

compatible with hub shifting systems and

coaster brakes, but not with derailleur

shifting systems.

9.2 Using the belt drive

NOTE

Damage to the belt due to incorrect handling.

Risk of damage!

x Ensure that the belt is not creased, twisted, bent backwards,

turned inside out, tied or used as a strap wrench.

x During fitting, the belt must not be rolled up with the front

pulley chainring or levered on e.g. with a screwdriver.
