How utterly refreshing to find an instructional video that doesn't have 15 minutes of superfluous, self-serving and arrogant cra* before getting down to business. An absolutely OUTSTANDING piece of work. This is the sort of bike retailer that I want to purchase my bike from and have my bike serviced by. Just no-nonsense, ego-free professionalism. Well done Sir!
Thanks for the tips. I struggled getting these byways on and off. It's been the hardest tire to work with for me, but this video helped a lot. Also with getting the wheel on and off.
After fixing the rear tire for flats, do we check the belt drive tension? Looking forward for the video on how to adjust the belt drive tension on the Apollos. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the clear instructions. Is there much difference with the removal of a wheel running an Alfine 11 *Di2* hub? There's no cable to release and the motor unit seems to hide most of the part where you disconnect the cable on the non-Di2 hub. If there's much of a difference, please could you make a video showing the Di2 version ...I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd appreciate it!
After watching this excellent video, I don't know why I always have such a hard time getting the tire back on the rim. I run into a problem trying to push the last few inches of the bead over the rim.
One of the hints is to be assure that the bead is as far into the well of the rim as you can get it before pushing on the last few inches of tire over the rim edge.
Somewhat related to this, but about the Alfine hub. Doesn't the green index spacer go on the drive side and the blue on the non-drive side? Obviously it's working fine on your bike, but mine is opposite and also working fine. Hmmmmm?
Most drive belts are a continus loop. In order to install one, the bike frame has to be split. This is not a problem for chains, which can can be split at any link. I bought a bike with a 3-speed Shimano drive and a belt. While I really like not having a derrailure, I don't find much advantage in having a belt over a chain. If you ride in wet and muddy conditions, the belt would be an asset.
Wow, thanks for including rims that don't take normal tubes. Super helpful. I should have returned this bike when I found out it didn't have a kick stand. This is why the world hates cyclists.
Hey Justin!! It is not common to have a kickstand on a bike like this, and they are normal tubes you buy at your local bike shop, Amazon, Walmart, or on our site. It’s all standard stuff! If you aren’t happy with your bike shoot us an email and we can help through the return process. It’s a great bike but if it isn’t great for you, we understand! I know we reached out a few times so if you have any questions, we are always here.
It is possible to repair a flat tire without removing the tire from the bike, but most bikers don't do it that way. Firstly, it is important to thoroughly examine the tire to see what caused the flat, which may not be obvious. Secondly, most riders will simply replace the tube rather than patching it to decrease the possibility of having another flat.
I bought the brilliant cooper from Priority and man it rides so smooth holy crap!! Now I am looking to get an Apollo with a same high quality Steel Frame. Does Priority make Roadbikes like this with steel frame? I can't go back to Aluminum after trying the brilliant
@@PriorityBicyclesNYC focus please! double meaning to that word here, however, I found a video very helpful as just finished installing tannus armour on my cube editor and needed to know how to remove alfine 11 hub, so thank you..
The best thing you can do with this Apollo is throw away that WTB tire immediately and replace it with Schwalbe Marathons before you take your first ride. You will NEVER have to worry about a flat on Schwalbe Marathon be it green guard or blue guard anything less than this is a waste of time.
I'll vouch for Marathons all day long, as they made a world of difference to my commute experience. But while they are bomb-proof commuting and touring tires, they are hot trash on gravel and I wouldn't recommend, specify, or use them on a gravel bike. If I buy one of these Apollos to replace my commuter (I'm thinking about it right now) I will definitely put Marathons on.

Appreciate the video, just bought one of these and was wondering about fixing flats. Pretty simple actually.

Hey Jeff. Feel free to email or text anytime. The byways are firm so they take a bit to get off but they are a great tire. Thanks!

Great call- thanks!
@@PriorityBicyclesNYC how do we check the belt drive tension?
The carbon drive app is great. We will shoot this video also! ruclips.net/video/QejZD_wT1Gc/видео.html
Oooooh. Flipping the bike upside down looks much smoother with that rear wheel removal. Smahhht.
Thanks for the clear instructions.

Thanks mate!
Good video...Thanks!
I wish gates made a belt with a removable link in it.
It’s like changing a fixie/1x speed, without the greased hands.

In this video, what Priority bike type he is using?
what about the tension?
Can any Alfine geared bike be converted to a belt drive or is it a special complete hub that can be bought

show fixing tubeless
Why remove the wheel? And you do need some patches to fix a flat!

Good time to go tubeless. With plugs you don't need to take the tire off!

Thanks for your recommendation. The good thing with all of our bicycles is that riders can customize them for what is best for their ride.
