What do you think of my belt drive bike? Would you want one for your use case? What questions do you have about it? Which bike of mine do you want to see next?

I have a Priority Folder. I love the belt drive.

If you're planning to buy this bike from Canada: It's important to mention that Canada imposes a 13% import tax on bicycles, which means 250$ CAN for an Onyx. At the time of purchase, you have to pay $150 US for delivery (excluding customs duties). I think it's worth noting that this little detail means 250$ CAN.

Good to see another Priority Bike in Seattle - I love my Priority 600, which is a step up from your Continuum Onyx. These bikes are GREAT for daily commuting and even long multi-day bikepacking excursions (last summer I rode mine on the Palouse to Cascade trail from the Beverly bridge over the Columbia river near Vantage all the way to Golden Gardens in Seattle). In almost a full year of riding it, all that's needed repair is two flat tires. Period. They are slightly more robust than most road bikes, but they will last forever.

My ebike picks up an absurd amount of grit on every ride. Next ebike will definitely have a belt and internal gears!

I have this same bike, love it, i changed the rear cog to a bigger one, since i ride on Jackson. I like your channel, keep it up

I rode a beltdruve Trek with 8 speed internal shifter in Calgary and Toronto.

[@BestSideCycling]

Nice, how did you like it? Was it good enough for all the snow?

[@rortines]

I just bought this bike and awaiting delivery. Your bike looks great! How does it do riding through trails, though it’s a commuter/city bike?

[@RedBeardedRabbit]

Are you noticing the Enviolo’s drag/inefficiency compared to other IGHs? Have you ridden enough miles to notice any break-in? My Priority bike with Enviolo City (310% gear range only sadly) still feels like a drag after ~250 miles.

[@gungfuriceboy]

i noticed you ordered the small size! what's your inseam ..& height. i'm not sure what size i should get...( i just don't like to feel crowded / cramped when riding! ). cheers!

[@kwtay1746]

Don't how good the enviolo is. But the Shimano alfine 11 sucks. I bought the Priority Apollo 11 in 2021 and have regretted ever since. the alpine 11 is definitely NOT market ready - gears skipping, grinding 50% of the time despite all the fine adjustments. Avoide the alfine 11 at all cost. The gates Carbon drive is great. I am still unable to dispose off my Apollo 11 for the last 2 years.

Bro, did you just 420? You're laughing like you did.

[@MsLori62]

With that basket, do you have to have that specific rack?

[@BestSideCycling]

Yes, this Odin bag is specific for the Racktime rack system.

[@SpeedyBlueBiker1]

You are accumulating a lot of bikes. You're going to need a bigger house!

[@wp40]

Does anyone local sell the Racktime gear?

[@BestSideCycling]

It's an interesting thing: the racktime racks are here and they're stocked on a lot of the trek/specialized ebikes. The actual accessories are mainly from Amazon or Walmart sourcing from Europe but I've seen okay prices on them.

You need to take me on a proper gravel ride
