Gates Carbon Drive CDN CenterTrack Belt

The Gates CDN belt is the low-priced CenterTrack alternative to the Gates Carbon Drive CDX belt (product code: 1597160101) and also impresses with smooth running and low maintenance. No more bouncing, squeaking or oil-covered chains; and since no lubrication is required, there are no grease spots either.
At that, the CDN belt weighs less than a standard bike chain and features a weather-resistant polyurethane construction with very strong and stretch-free carbon belt fibres.

Tip:
For the Gates BELT CARE spray for maintenance and care of your belt drive, please see product code: 1597150001.

Proper belt tension is absolutely essential for optimal performance of the Gates Carbon Drive system.
To measure belt tension, we recommend you to use the Gates Eco Tension Tester (product code: 1597130001).
Alternatively, you can measure the belt’s tension like a guitar hero with the Gates Carbon Drive Smartphone App (iOS / Android). Yet, this version is quite sensitive to the ambient noise level.

Gates tension recommendations (These tension recommendations are a good starting point, which may need to be adjusted higher or lower based on the rider size, gear ratio, and power placed on the pedals):
• Town and country – smooth and steady pedalling style: 40-60 Hz (35-45 lbs)
• Town and country – punchy and rough pedalling style: 60-75 Hz (45-53 lbs)
• Hub gears: 35-50 Hz (28-40 lbs)
• Tandem: 60-65 Hz (45-48 lbs)
