Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a place in London that has a belt tension gauge in stock or can order one within 3 weeks.
Any recommendation would be appreciated.

Any other tools I should get while I'm at it?

Thanks!

Do you have access to Amazon? They should have the Gates belt tension gauge recommended by Zero in stock and they go for about $14 USD.  Alternately, you can probably pick one up at your local Zero dealer.

3mm Allen key. Preferably with a T-handle, unless you want to spend 5 minutes per fastener.

What about downloading the cell phone app that tests the tension by sound?

[MajorMajor]

Is the cellphone app reliable?

Not as good as an proper tension gauge. There are two Zero dealers on the outskirts of Londen but iirc the Zero tester is just a rebranded regular one.

It's the Gates Krikit I gauge, all covered in the wiki:

Should be available at a local parts shop.

So if anyone has any information on how to find a parts store in central London that has the recommended tension gauge, I'd love to know.

Otherwise I guess I'll try to contact the Zero dealers and hope they are accessible by public transportation...

Any parts store can order them, just ring you nearest one.

I don't live in London, I'm visiting.
Thank you all for trying to be helpful but this is missing the mark.

Please, if you have the name of a store that fits the description and personal experience with it, let me know.
