That's exactly what I was doing and the axle worked its way back! It also moved when I turned the nut from snug to fairly tight to really tight! The axle simply did not want to stay in place.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Belt Tension Adjustments & Alinement
The Brain trusts of our members will never stop amazing me & I appreciate the feedback very much, So my question is: what method is everybody using to set Drive belt tension? Has anybody used the app to measure in Frequency?
Yes like plucking a guitar string, Or does anybody have a chart to correlate between Frequency & tension or newton meters? thanks again. 2014 Spyder RT Limited 1330 Ace

Yes, I use the belt frequency to set the tension, and now it even corelates with the Krikit measurements. They measured quite different tensions the first few times I tried it. The phone app WILL NOT measure the belt 'twang' because the frequency range of the Spyder belt is too low in pitch for the phone's microphone. It works great for shorter/tighter/higher pitched belts. I use a Snark musical tuner and it responds to the belt pluck nicely. The frequency method is more sensitive to change and has higher resolution. They agree only when I use the Krikit at the center of the bottom span of the belt. The attached tension chart applies to the 2020RT belt dimensions.
