Not much traffic here but i try anyway! Bought FS tensioner to my 2002 X1. The instructions leave a bit desired but after some creative thinking it is there. What i would like to know is how tight the belt should be now with the tensioner, nothing mentioned on the instructions.

I believe the FS belt tensioner is designed for the XB series, it was never needed or fitted to tube framed bikes, the belt is best run a little ( scarily) slack. |

This is made for tubers, it is not spring loaded as the XB tensioner. Seen it recommended here by the "gurus" so thought best to have one! |

No ! The tuber belt stays a constant throughout travel The XB series don't so yes for XB No for tubers Look at the pivot points of the rear wheel & the output spindle |

Probably not neccessary to have on a X1 then but now it is there. The question still is the tightness of the belt?
