What frequency should the Gates carbon drive resonate at if it's at the correct tension?
They have a little tuner app but it doesn't work on any of the phones I have, but I do have a guitar tuner......

For internal gear hubs 45-50 Hz should be the target....this was when I was looking at a nexus hub on a build.

Hmmm
Mine is a single speed so maybe could go a little tighter.

Dunno. Mine is comparable to a chain-tension. If you run it as tight as suggested, you increase bearing wear (IME)

Its meant to be a lot tighter than a chain, which shouldn't have any tension (from what I've been told)
