Your best bet is to measure the counterweight position and do your sums.

If you have a screw take up then it is hardly worth measuring in the last place.

I didn't know a 600 belt could go so slow. Not even in Kitwe.

Have they fixed the drains in the Kitwe Club toilets yet? Are the gammon steaks still so huge? Can't get them here in Saudi. ■
