let me know which one you go with and why...$200 is still $200 but I think the 10 is on 10" tires I think...so maybe?

@@TimsElectric lol, I was really overthinking the possibilities as to why. Great video. I didn’t really understand what they meant by split rims. Wish they’d had them when I maintained all the bikes and cycles at my house when I was a kid. They really do make maintenance much easier. I was dreading having to repair or replace tires or tubes, but these make it very easy indeed.

@@TimsElectric Thanks for your video btw! Apollo's tire repair video says use an 18mm wrench... bought an 18mm wrench and realized for the V2 Phantom Apollo actually uses a 21mm nut.

What is the benefit of split rims? I have split rims and this does not appear to be anymore convenient than normal rims.

Awesome question @JLK5241, split rims are regarded as easier to remove the inner tube...trust me the rubber is super hard to pry off without split rims :)

Seems like you're doing a lot more work then you have to unless the scooter is just ridiculous and for some reason you have to take your rotor off

You think I did it wrong? @corywebb5537, I thought it was pretty simple and yes watching their training videos they take the motor off too...share a video on how to do it better if you can :)
