The top belt is pulled back by a farily hefty spring .Its a 6 speed. When following your link i cant find a combination of 400 frame and 6 speed, so it should be a 600 frame I guess.
Im still wondering how the vari belts behave when moving the shifter all down, the pulley slides forward so that it makes it easier to change the front belt, but i really cant seem to wrap my head around that it can move all the way bac again with the belt fitted.. The belt isnt stretchy enough to allow for such a big movement.
Is there a order to replace the two belts? the rear one or the front one first?
When you put you foot on the go pedal you work against that spring .
The double pulley slides up & down which changes the diameter of the pulley so one gets bigger & the other gets smaller.
It is in effect the same as a set of stepped pulleys you see on small drill presses.
