Omega Belt Tension Adjustment 2
Sliding Dropouts:
Your Omega uses adjustable sliding
dropouts to set the belt tension. This
system allows you to remove and reinstall
the wheel without needing to adjust the
tension aerward.
Step 1:
Using a 5mm allen wrench, loosen the 2
dropout mounting bolts on each side of
the bike.

Step 2:
There is a bolt for adjusting the tension on
each side of the bike, right above the axle
nut. It is mostly hidden, and can only be
seen and accessed from the rear.
Using a 4mm allen wrench, adjust the
bolts on each side to set your desired
tension. Turn the wrench clockwise to
increase belt tension. Turn the wrench
counter-clockwise to decrease belt
tension.
Please be sure to turn the bolt on each
side the same amount to ensure the wheel
stays centered.
Step 3:
Using a 5mm allen wrench, tighten the 2
dropout mounting bolts on each side of
the bike.
Go ride your bike!
There are lots of tools available to set the tension on the Gates Belt, but we can’t
recommend any of them. We’ve found that we get better results just by setting it up
like a chain. In general, looser is better, so long as the belt isn’t skipping. We like to see
1/2” of deflection in both directions at the middle of the belt when pressed lightly. (1”
total deflection)
