BB Chamgeout
Thanks for the detailed analysis on your gates belt drive and the attention to detail.
We also have the Gates center track drive belt and started hearing creaks in the bb area. I popped the captains bb out yesterday and the non drive side bearing is bad. I will go into the stokers tonight to check its condition.
After reading all your posts, I may not go back to the OEM’s tension guidelines and stay with a little less tension. Our Co-Motion is about 10 years old, and on the original bb’s, and this is our third year on the belt drive. So, it is time to change them and like a previous post may do them yearly.
One last question for Co-Motion owners, are the front and rear bb’s the same? Thanks in advance.
