Rory, to save some typing here is a link to mine. (Pictures and review) The review I posted on it hasn't changed since I wrote it. I still love it. After adjusting the belt from its first ride since I did loose tension as Gates said I would since everything settled in. I can say after the next ride of 30 hard miles the belt tension had not changed after the ride.


Misfit riders unite!

CenterTrack

I just installed my Gates CenterTrack on my SS 29er and I love it. The first day I rode the tension was firm on the carbon belt. By day 2, the tension wasn't as firm. I just have to tighten it a little more and use the Krikit gauge to set my tension (breaking-in period). The Gates CT belt feels smooth and solid. Low maintenance is what's nice about this belt. I don't need to clean it, and re-lube it.
