• 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.

Is Belt Tension highest with rear wheel on the ground, or raised?

Is the belt tension greatest when the bike is on the floor, or with the rear wheel up?
Mine is measuring 140 lb on the floor. It’s aligned beautifully so I kinda hate to mess with it.

when in the air, the belt starts to lose the highest tension. with the wheel off the ground and shock full extend, the belt can be walked off. the tension of 140 on kricket is a tad low at 140, but still able to run. i run mine at 160-165 on ground as do others

You have a 2010. People will forget that the 2008 - 2012 Spyders have a lower spec than the newer models. Yours is perfect.
