Hi all, I have had my SuperDelite for about a year and its been working fine but recently the belt system keeps coming off at the rear. I have a Rohloff geared hub installed, I initially noticed the belt would pop off when cycling up steep hills so im guessing high torque going through the components but recently its been getting a lot worse. The recent cold conditions have meant the belt came off almost every time i went around a corner (was about -5 DegC) My initial thoughts are to tighten the belt but i cannot see how this is possible, as the rear wheel is fixed and cannot slide back. I also checked the retaining spring and that seems very tight still. So my last area of investigation was along the lines of needing a new belt, as it could have become loose, but that doesn't explain why it comes of far more frequently in cold weather. Surely that would keep more tension on the belt ?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
