I have a 2 bolt eccentric BB and am running a Gates belt drive - a 50 front, 22 rear and a 118 tooth belt. Looking at the drive side, I am able to rotate the BB past the 3 o'clock point with the help of one of those boa rubber strap wrenches. I'm not able to rotate past 3'oclock with my bare hands.
With other gear selections, the belt is taut at 7 o'clock or 2 o'clock.
My question is, can I rely on the clamping of the eccentric BB bolts to ensure I don't slip and rotate when pedaling or should I really use the limit of the belt to ensure no slippage?
