    This is a great video but I'm after a video for correctly setting the SRAM i3 gear hub up, is there any info or chance of you doing one of them? Thanks

    What pedals do you have on that 16"? I'm looking to get my son some new bigger pedals than the standard ones his belter 16 came with.

    No matter how long I do this for the belt always slides to one side! Its so frustrating!🤯

      Same here. Arrived with belt loose and making it very difficult to make transition from balance to pedals, as belt keeps working it's way off. Trying to adjust but can't get it right.

      I have the same issue with my belter 14, have you finally solved it??

      @@raultapia3674 Kind of yes. Our mistake was that we tried to have the belt centered in the rear sprocket, as this Video explains that we should do it.
      In our case however, to get the belt to run straight, it needed to run on the very outer edge of the rear sprocket.
      We ended up going to a local bike shop who happenwd to be experienced with early riders, and their they explained us that the goal is not to have the belt centered, but to run in a straight line from the front to the rear sprocket.
      So, the moral of the story is that we needed to ignore what this video says about positioning the belt, and we got it to work. Since then it runs without issues.
      I would upload you a picture, but i think thats not possible on youtube. Good luck

    when the pedals turn in the right direction, the belt is correctly positioned. but in the other direction the belt comes out in less than one turn of the wheel!!! Not very easy

    It sounds great in theory, but it’s a nightmare in praxis. Make perfect alignment, but after tightening bolts, it goes on side. It’s almost impossible to get alignment and tension correct.
