The homemade is getting close to completion. Rob Frink is putting the finishing touches on the wheels for this baby. What kind of tension do you put on the 2 X 72 belts?


 
Heya, you got any plans for that home built? I'd love to see them!

You want the belt just tight enough so it will track properly. Too much and you'll burn your bearings out.
