- 🚴♂️ Thinking about upgrading your ride to a Priority bike? Interested in learning more about belt drives? Join me as I share my experience and review of the Priority 600X across 4 seasons in Colorado's Front Range! 🌄

Bikes are in rapid transition now and new tech is a really bad investment. The old inexpensive drives are very reliable and work much better than I would have thought. I have several bikes, and if the drives are maintained they do great.
Thanks for the honest review. Though, I haven't ever had a flat tire that wasn't related to me letting the sealant dry out.
You need to tighten your belt if it comes off from mud. Actually you can over-tighten it temporarily to help it clean off.
Nice suspension. Love usd forks
That was eye opening. I have a belt drive Trek Soho that I really like for the lack of having to clean and lubricate a chain and its whisper quiet operation. I have Continental Gatorskin Hardshell 32mm and have never had a flat (no goat heads here). I have had to remove the rear wheel but it wasn't bad getting tension correct. I can see if it was multiple times in one ride it would be a pain.
I'm still considering a Rolhoff or Pinion belt system for an expedition buke build, but appreciate hearing some downsides. Thanks
Beautiful bike! Let me know how the Rolhoff goes if you go that route. If your going for an expedition bike in Colorado just consider going with additional puncture resistance and sealant for a bike that can handle anything .
The belt does not need to be re-tensioned every time that the rear wheel is removed. You are creating unnecessary work for yourself if you start messing with the belt tension.
This is covered in Priority's flat repair video for the bike: czcams.com/video/9MV9cyW5x50/video.html
The Gates app can be tricky to use in a loud environment, but has worked fine for me.
I think at this point, traditional chains are better.
I also think belts might actually work really well. They would be very quiet. They would also be light.
If the pulleys are straight, the belt doesn't need pulley guides.
If there is mud, pulley guides would help.
I'm really interested to see how belt drive systems are going to be re-engineered to be better. I think we are seeing just the beginning of these systems.
Hey bro is impulse a bike brand because my mtb is named impulse
2:58 what conditions will stop a chain but not a belt? That's simply a goofy claim to make.
300 miles over a year? That's not too much for review
No shimano = no me
Pinion gearbox is much more reliable.
I demand photos of your Shimano tattoo to prove your brand loyalty.
