Title: New question on belt slack
Post by serowbot on 08/19/06 at 10:40:38

I have no tension guide, and find that the 45' bend method allows for some variance. I read somewhere in here that about 1" up/down slack might be close. I seem to be able to do 45' bend at anything from a 1/4" slack to over an 1".
How about an up/down slack average from the bottom center of the belt with the bike on the sidestand.
I'd find it helpfull, maybe others too.
As some of us are gorillas and some are delicate flowers... it might help some with a touch of arthritis as well.

Well i'm no guerilla and was able to twist the belt 45 degree with just my thumb and index finger. I happened to have the tension tool that comes with the original tool pouch. This method of checking(twisting) gave pretty darn close to checking tension with the tool ;)
