Been a while since I looked at this one, but the idea was that the inner ring would be rotating at faster than orbital velocity at that altitude. This would normally cause it to push itself out to a higher orbit, but the outer ring (or belt) would prevent that. That outer belt would be under a lot of tension, but not carbon nanotube level tension.
