Frequently asked questions
Is the screw included with the snubber?
Yes, the RDM Snubber is supplied with its screw. This listing is for a single replacement screw.
Do I need special tools for a belt drive?
A belt drive needs far less than a chain, but the right tension and alignment matter. Gates offers tools for checking tension, checking alignment, fitting sprockets and protecting the belt – see the table above, and ask us which ones suit your bike.
Why does sprocket alignment matter?
Front and rear sprockets must stay aligned within ±1.0 mm. Misalignment can cause tooth jump, faster wear, noise, belt derailment or belt failure.
