Tonight's result:
Specialized AWOL x Alfine x belt drive - 1
Scorch - 0
Of course, I cannot get the fucking circlip on the fucking Alfine, but that's not the biggest issue. Belt line is totally fucked up! I moved the cranks and BB around four times already (inner/outer position, two BB spacers, one spacer, no spacers) and looked at the line so intensely for so long that I can't figure out which way is it now fucked - inside or out :(
Worst of it all is that where I am, no LBS is willing to fix that shit for no amount of money for me as they have no experience with belts etc. Going to have to continue my struggle alone...
I have no experience with belts but Id say work it out with verniers not by eye. Measure from the centre of the frame to the inner edge of the belt at the sprocket and chainring(beltring?) and compare the distances. If its still noisy/doesnt run smooth then the problem is something else
thanks, I'll try that tonight
the line is clearly visually off
re: noise, the problem is, it's my first time with alfine as well, i'm not sure what should it sound like :)
