Wowww I love that app!!! Awesome stuff... maybe put a link for the App Store here in the video description and also for the manual belt tensioner so it's super easy to check it out =]
These videos are very useful

Can you get a tensioner in the sense that a chain has a derailleur for cassettes or a tensioner for a single sprocket
This would be great for retro fitting
I'm considering making an ebike with full suspension and I have limited options as it is
The shock is often in the way of a bottle battery and so a frame with an intube battery would avoid this
However, with 29" rims and an X-Large frame size my number of options = 1 and the rear wheel placement is fixed

Can I use the phone app for motorcycle belt?

Ich bekam leider keine Antwort auf meine Frage, deshalb die Frage hier nochmal.
Gates dont answere me – that´s why i try it here again

If possible, answere in German. Wenn möglich, in Deutsch antworten.

In den FAQ steht, dass man den Riemen regelmäßig wechseln soll.
Was genau bedeutet "regelmäßig". Jährlich? Alle 2 Jahre? Alle 3 Jahre?

Deshalb meine Frage: Gibt es beim Carbonriemen eine zeitliche Begrenzung wie oft bei anderen Carbonbauteilen.


You write in FAQ: „ Change belt regularly“ What´s the max. time I can drive the belt.
One year? Two years? 3 years?

This didn't tell me shit! How do I know if the tension is correct or not?

[igorg.]

What is more accurate? I don't trust the app, because if I apply more pressure to the belt, then it gives a louder feedback, but what is the right amount of pressure?
