  • @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.

  • 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.
