Nah... I have set screws. As I mentioned, it may have fallen prey to a heavy handed wrench. And, if they tend to creak, someone probably decided to fix the creak.
But, if the belts truly need minimal adjustment, then it sounds like a great idea. Set it at the factory, and don't worry about it.
How much disassembly does one have to do to get to the BB adjustment? Does one have to essentially remove the bottom bracket to adjust the split one? Or, perhaps with the Shimano cartridges, one could just loosen it, adjust and re-tighten.
