I hear everyone with the "tension by feel" thing.
I own the "kriket" belt tension testers, and I'm probably one of the few guys who prefers to use them.
On another forum, someone came up with this page on the Gates web site: https://www.gates.com/us/en/resources/calculators/belt-tension-calculator
That page shows the actual tension specs for Gates belts, and the new belts i have are Gates belts, so that hits what I need.
