Gates Green hd bs rpm is there a difference to justify the cost I can get the green for half of the new rpm
I just switched form a regular gates belt to a gates rpm. I can say belt dust is down, in return throttle response seems faster. But other things could play into that.
1 thing is the 30$ gates belt the 60$ gates hd belt and the 100$ gates rpm belt all need different tensions to be happy. Like 70%,50%,30%
Rock auto has probably the best priceWhere are you guys biying your RPM belts?
Ok sonwith the green belt I have now is super tight on the tensioner like 80% so with the rpm I’d have to have a longer belt then to bring the tensioner to the 30% load? I don’t have a adjustable tensioner so it’s belt length dependent
Interesting. I'm currently running a 74.5" belt. Maybe the 75.1" belt they offer would work.
Is that how you calculate belt tension?
I've never looked into that, but just installed an adjustable AR tensioner in place of a Thumpr (GT500 application)
