설명

Gates Carbon Drive is the high-tech belt drive for bicycles, motorcycles, & scooters. This app measures belt tension sonically. Just pluck your belt like a guitar string and use the microphone on your phone to read the vibration frequency. Compare your bicycle belt’s frequency to the included chart to see if you need to adjust the tension. For scooter/motorcycle tension recommendations, compare to your vehicle owner’s manual.

Other available features for bicycles:

- Find key parameters of your drive such as speed ratio and center distance.

Interface

Dark blue text on a dark background is really hard to read.
Should have clear images or short video showing exactly where to hold and how to pluck belt.
Feels like it was designed by engineers and for people who already know what they are doing, not for the first time user.

This app does work surprisingly well but, it could be improved with a simple update.

I own a priority 600, & this app does help with tensioning the belt when used correctly in a quiet room, but it could be much easier with a simple feature. Please add a “pause button” for in between “plucks” I can’t rotate the crank 1/4th turn without a bike stand else I get a false positive because of other small noises.

Leaves much to be desired

The app does not have a “record” or measure button. Thus it is unclear when no measurement is recorded whether I’m using the app wrong, if my belt is set wrong, or if there is too much background noise or other problems. I was able to get the app to work one time, but since then have never gotten any measurements recorded.
