@maha77 the gauge is particular to Carbon Drive. It's item #7401-0073, Carbon Drive Krikit gauge. If you are North America, call 303-278-3955 to order one if you aren't able to find.

at 2:50 you mention to check the tension with the gates gauge, is there a particular model you recommend or does any work? I see several on amazon and want to get the right one

[maha77]

just got my first bike with a carbondrive and I love it, will never go back to a chain

Do you have to go through this complications every time you take the wheel off(when fixing a flat tyre) of or only the first time?

@alriha77 No, this video shows the fresh installation of a Carbon Drive. Depending on what type of dropout you have, the procedures can vary, but you would not need to do everything shown in the video. A sliding vertical dropout would only require putting the belt back on the sprockets, and putting the wheel into the dropout.  Horizontal dropouts, however would require re-tensioning and re-aligning the drive. Check out our website for more info.
