after I was happy my wheel was aligned & belt was correct tension I painted little white lines on both the swinging arm & the adjusters - know when I readjust I'll have to get them off & repaint, but can't see having to adjust belt for a long time. I also used the tension guage & belt passed the 90 degree twist test too.

A question about the 90 degree method...
My belt is squeaking a lot so I checked the tension. I can twist it easily to 45 degrees and then I get a fair amount of resistance, but if I apply a LOT more pressure I can just about get it to 90 degrees.
Am I right in thinking the 45 degrees is my true reading?
Sorry to be so dumb

Remember to get all the slack in the bottom side of the belt by putting it in gear & rolling backwards. Then check for the 90* twist. If you are working so hard to twist it, it's either too tight or you are too weak to ride. ( I am leaning toward the "It's too tight" position, cuz I dont want you coming to my house & grabbing me by the throat to show me you arent too weak to ride..
