Removing and refitting rear wheel on belt drive bike?

Airlane1979 · 01-22-2025, 07:12 AM

I have a Gazelle Esprit belt drive bike with hub gears which has a rear puncture. Can someone advise me on how to remove and refit the wheel? I'm aware that it can be quite complicated, but I have no option other than tackling it myself. The photos were taken with the bike upside down.

Did you get a solution to this?

I don't have any personal experience on this, so I couldn't really comment.

Yes. I took my bike to a local shop and they showed me how to do it.

Could you describe, either briefly or in detail, how the job was performed. Thx
