Interested in key parameters of your drive like speed ratio or center distance? Want to know what belt lengths or sprocket sizes will fit your ride?

What about tension? Is my tension too high or too low? Don’t have a proper tool? Well now we’re putting one of the easiest and best tension tools right into your iPhone (or iPod touch with microphone – not included). Just pluck your belt like a guitar string, and use the microphone on your iPhone to read the frequency that it’s vibrating at. Compare your belts frequency to the included chart to see if you need to adjust the tension.

No settings for tandems!
Ritterview
The sync drive for tandems was one of the first types of bikes to adopt Gates Carbon Drive. But in this App, there are settings neither for the 69/74 tooth tandem sprockets, nor the 250 tooth belt. These options don't even appear in the app's catalog. I know not what rating other Gates users will give it, but for tandem Gates drivers, it is 1 star as in useless.
Great App

This was an awesome idea. Gates IS the leading edge in belts. Pun not intended! Lol
Hello, Anyone working in this?

Crashes immediately upon launch with iPhone 6. Previous version worked fine on this same iPhone 6.
Crashes on launch

Current version crashes on launch with iPhone 6s. Previous version was good but had difficulty getting the frequency to lock onto a reading. When it did, frequency was all over the map.
