Description

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.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

5 ★Honestly works great. I'm kinda surprised but it does.
1 ★Ridiculous! It shows the last 4 data points, and discards any older, so any background noise gets rid of the data you want. There should be a 'confirm reading' button when it hears something, and it shouldn't get wildly different readings for the same drive position.
4 ★Seems to work ok. You have to take multiple measurements to be satisfied you're getting the right baseline. Sometimes you have to turn the mic off and on to get it to pick up sounds again.
1 ★It just shows random numbers. There's no consistency at all.
5 ★Helps you get the tension right on your Gates belt drive. Amazing that this works. And it does!
1 ★Inconsistent reading
2 ★On a s10e, fully quiet garage, microphone next to the belt.. i got wildy different results to the point of being unusable. From 20hz to 110hz, it seemed to matter more how i pluck the belt than anything else. Not sure who this is useful for. Sometimes i got maybe the same results but for the same time i got varying consistent other sets of data. This doesn't help me at all to even find a ballpark figure for my belt tension.
4 ★Could be better at picking up the plucks seems to have a delay. Got the job done.
2 ★First, their symbols for microphone recording is bad. When the microphone is blue, then that means it's recording. I thought it was a button that I needed to press to start recording. Second, as I pluck the belt, I don't get near consistent frequencies. I get 20Hz, 40Hz, and 85Hz among others. This means the method of plucking has enough variation to render the test useless for tuning. There's gotta be a better way. I'll pay for a tool that'll physically measure the tension.
5 ★Not sure why there are so many negative reviews of this app. Worked flawlessly for me. Used it to tension all 5 belts on a Ferrari 360. I even checked to see how accurate it is with a 250hz tuning fork and it was dead on. Worked better than our $2000 special tool.
