Title: rear wheel adjusters
Post by: carryall on April 29, 2014, 03:41:29 PM
Does anyone know of a set of adjuster/tensioners that work on our Servicycles to pull the rear wheel back for tensioning the belt and aligning it?  I thought I had seen a post somewhere but couldn't locate it. Thanks.

Thanks, they'll make things a lot easier getting the tension/alignment needed on my H.F. powered bike.

Here's what I made.  Modeled after a pic another forum member sent me from his.  Just a washer welded to a 1/4" threaded shank and ground down for clearance between.  I'm adding a stainless washer on the back for added strength behind the bracket. It's probably not needed since it's just to center with slight tensioning, until axel bolts are tightened.  I may cut them down in length after installing.  Should work fine and make adjustment a lot easier down the road...

I also installed adjuster and it made the tensioning and centering really easy, and precise.  Should have put them on when I put bike together originally.  Here's a pic of them installed.  BTW, the ATV/quad lift I made worked great for working on the bike, if anyone is looking for a way to tinker with theirs while having/needing the wheels off the ground.
