Yes, that’s how the hub works, it was weird at first as someone who has ridden external gears for years, but I got used to it

Forget the stupid chamois. Get yourself some proper biker shorts, underneath your stylish ones, if needed. It makes a HUGE difference. As for the bar, just rotate that stock one back a little. You won't get comfortable with your wrists angled forward.

I did Marcy in 1986. Started at South Meadow. It was an extremely warm day in September. 90+ degrees. I was in Stan Smith tennis shoes and otherwise unprepared. The next day, my feet were so swollen and sore, I couldn’t walk at all. But I did it.

Did you have to adjust the belt tension? I just bought one and it took a lot of force just to turn the crank until I lowered the belt tension. This is a heavy bike, it's a workout going uphill!
@PrentissC7 ай бұрын
I didn’t have to, my bike was setup by a bike shop so it was good to go, but I did have to loosen the belt on my other priority bike that was shipped straight to me in a box, but it wasn’t tough to adjust it. Yes like I said in the video, the internal hub doesn’t help make the bike light, just less maintenance.

Prentiss great video! I am Adirondacker native. You chose an extremely difficult hike, so you must be great shape. Don't hike in the Adirondacks between late May to mid June. Our black flies will drive you crazy. I like your commentary. Is there a way you could show your progress on a map video? Showing the trail distance sign was a good idea. I wanted to see your progress which would it easier to understandable. Trying climbing down that granite side at the end of your video after a rain. OUCH! Thanks for your victory!

Very nice review! Nice skills with the 2 lb :D If I were you, I'd downsize to size medium and bring your hands closer to your hips, would be a more effective setup. I'm 6'4 and use large as well, medium is just borderline for me, I can use it, but if I make a single error I trip up, so large is nicer for me. when I use large I can have my hands closer than yours, that's why I feel like medium is a nice size for you. can tie a not in your large and see :) no form critiique here by the way, just something to think about if you haven't. having hinds wider / closer is personal preference, but closer position and shorter rope is just more effective and feels better with the heavy ropes especially

Hey Prentiss, nice review of a great bike. Thanks for telling us about the trail. I live in Connecticut and would make the trip for a nice 70 mile trail. I bought a Priority 600X and love it for all the reasons you like the Apollo. Great bikes at a decent price (compared to the competition). Thanks again and I subscribed to you channel. Have a great day, Steve

Hello. Just came up in your channel as I’m doing some research on the Apollo priority bike. I don’t know if you have seen the channel bikes beer and buses. But it’s a couple that’s doing an across the US bikepacking trip on the Apollo. Nice video

If you're gonna do any winter hiking i'd recommend the Catskills. Theyre higher than the hudson highlands so the get more snow but they're not above treeline so it never gets very sketchy. Theyre also fairly well traveled and the main trails are almost always packed down withing a few days of any snowstorm. I grew up around there and honestly think they're easier to climb in the winter than in the summer with equally great views.

How long did the whole thing take you from car to car? I’m thinking of climbing Marcy before doing Katahdin. Looking to see if I could squeeze the climb and 6 hour drive into one day.

A little over 9 hours, that includes time I spent on rest breaks. Not sure if this will work, but this is the link to the gps track I recorded during this hike. There may be shorter routes to the top of Marcy, but this is the route I did. strava.app.link/5et8yt0KSyb
