Maintenance & Use
- Wash components with water.
- Belt ends are fragile and if damaged will effect the performance and safety of the rider.
- Temperature tolerance is -22°F to 176°F and -30°C to 80°C
Installation
Front Belt Ring
- S2/X2 & S3/X3 (3-spline): Mount belting onto backside of crank spider with part number facing out.
- S3/X3 (9-spline): Mount belting onto backside of crank spider with 1mm spacer and part number facing in. For adjustments: The 1mm offset of the belt ring and ‘flipping’ of the belt ring allows for 4 different installation positions for 4 different belt lines.
Rear Sprocket
- Install cog onto rear hub. S2/X2: Install hub spacer, then cog with logo facing out. S3/X3: Install cog with logo facing inward. 9-spline version has new retaining clip provided.
Belt
-
Thread the belt through the rear frame triangle. The belt splice is directional. The proper direction is shown with the pointed “male” end of the belt splice pointed in the direction that the belt travels through the system.
-
Join the splice together so that the teeth are aligned. Insert the rivets through the holes in the teeth with heads of rivets facing outward. Make sure you do not bend the belt as you install the rivets. The tips of the rivets need to extend out of the belt ~1mm and the heads must be flush against the side of the belt before they are rivetted.
-
Clinch rivets by squeezing the Riveting Tool with firm pressure until the rivet splays. There will be a “pop” sound or feel. You may try clinching a rivet before inserting it into the belt to get a feel for this “pop”. We have provided extra rivets for this.
Tip: It is easiest to insert all rivets into belt and then clinch them all at once.
Alignment
- In order to function properly, belt drivetrains must be aligned perfectly. There must be little angle or misalignment of the belt and the sprockets. Sprockets must be in the same plane. Error of alignment over 1mm can cause issues and damage the belt in operation.
Checking Alignment
-
Ensure your rear wheel is centered and aligned in the dropouts. Check for sprocket alignment by placing a straight edge against the front ring and comparing where it sits against the rear sprocket to get a good estimate of whether both ring and sprocket are in the same plane.
-
Your straight edge will be off by 2.5mm because the belting has guides and the cog does not.
Note: VanMoof’s frames can vary up to ±3mm so the belting and tensioner wheel position may have to be adjusted with spacers to correctly align the belt with the rear cog.
Tensioning and Adjustments
- Once belting and cog are aligned, release the tensioner’s locking pin to engage the belt. Be careful not to pinch your finger! There should be no slack in the belt. Take the bike for a ride for a few minutes and check that the tensioner wheel is aligned with the belt, belting, and cog. Adjust alignment as needed.
Adjusting Alignment
- After lightly riding the bike, check the alignment of the belt on the sprockets and tensioner. If the belt is sliding to one side of the cog by over 1mm, adjust accordingly with provided spacers. Make sure the belt is not rubbing on one side of the tensioner as well.
Note: VanMoof’s frames can vary up to ±3mm so the belting and tensioner wheel position may have to be adjusted with spacers to correctly align the belt with the rear cog.
