High Wire,
What did you use as the source for the recommended tension?
I tried the tension calculator on the Gates site which involves plugging in 2 variables:
belt type (V belt in my case) and belt width.
That put the recommended tension at 120 lbs.
120 seemed high so I too tensioned mine to 50 or 60 which seems appropriate when applying all the other methods described in the above thread...
