Gates Belt Drive - Biomega BOS Manual

TIRES
Always keep the tires well inflated. The recommended pressure of the tire is printed on the side of the tires. The valve is a Schrader valve which
means that you can pump your tires at a gasoline station.
Do not inflate your tires above the pressure recommended on the tire. When inflating your tire, be careful not to over-inflate it – you risk damag-
ing your tire and rim.

GATES BELT DRIVE

Biomega bikes are equipped with a high quality belt drive to minimize maintenance and increase comfort.
IMPORTANT: Find general safety information below. Also read enclosed Gates manual.
HANDLING THE BELT
WARNING: Do not crimp, twist, backbend, invert, bundle or zip tie the belt. Do not use the belt as a strap wrench or chain whip. Do not roll on
or pry on the belt.
Belt Tension and Drive Alignment
Proper tension and drive alignment is key to optimal performance.
• Lack of belt tension can lead to "skipping". Too much tension can damage other components and increase the wear of your Carbon Drive System.
• Signs of a misaligned drive include, but are not limited to, noise, premature belt or sprocket wear, belt walk-off. Detailed information and schematics
can be found in Gates' Technical Manual located at www.gatescarbondrive.com/tech/resources or directly at carbondrive@gates.com
