Thanks for the comprehensive, step-by-step video. I want to purchase a belt-drive e-bike (likely Gazelle), but the possibility of a rear-wheel flat in the middle of an 8-mile commute at 7:30 in the morning is giving me second thoughts. Will keep learning about it. Your video is very helpful.
I purchase a gazelle 380 this summer and was wondering how difficult it would be to change a flat tube. You make it look easy I'll find out more about the tire insert and see if I can purchase a couple. thanks for posting
Did you use a smaller tube with the Tannus? Tannus recommend this but you didn't mention it. It feels like a standard tube would be able to run at a lower pressure, which appeals.
Good video, thanks. So, the belt tension doesn't change at all during the process? Are fixing flats on the side of the road realistically doable on this? Thanks again.
The belt tension remains the same! If you do have trouble getting the belt back on the hub, leaving the tire deflated until the belt is reinstalled can give you that extra wiggle room. With the right tools and some patience, it's doable. The tire is easier to bead alone without the tannus armour...although with it, you wouldn't have the flat to begin with :)
4:30 Pro tip: Before inserting new tube, inflate partially so it takes shape, which makes insertion without twisting far easier.
Exactly. It's so much easier and less likely to get a pinch-puncture.

Thanks, very well presented and solved my issue with re-attaching the shift cables
Great video. Thanks!!

6:50 Pro tip: For heavier riders, you want to increase the PSI above the minimum. Google for a pressure chart on this.
Why not patch the tube?
Lower the mic volume and add that catchy background music and severe wind noise back in. I almost heard him talking.
Can you show how to do this same thing with a Shimano Nexus 7 hub shifter?
it's the same story in case the frame was thru-axle? wheel easily pops out?
Thanks for the well-made video - except for having to turn the volume up for voice, down for annoyingly-loud and unnecessary music, again and again.
Once the tyre is removed is there a risk of damage if the brake levers get pulled? Is it better to insert spacers between the brake pads?

inflate the tube slightly with talc so you don't need a friend
