At least the forks are turned the right way

Replacing your existing bike with another model doesn’t seem to make sense to me, but maybe they could give you the cost of the replacement frame and that $300 credit towards a new ADX. Have you asked about that option?

Really? What part of the rim is responsible for holding air in?

Most of the time if a tubeless wheel is not holding pressure it’s due to the tire or the rim tape, not the rim.

I think you’re probably right that it has to do with the brake cut offs. You can test this really easily by tracing the wire to its connector and just unplugging the brake cut offs. If that turns out to be the culprit, then you can also fairly easily adjust their sensitivity at the lever and back them out a bit.

My guess is bats feasting on the bugs attracted to the light beam.

You could also save a few bucks and put a more upright/backswept handlebar on there.

I’m interested. Back in town tomorrow afternoon

Most people can find out the bike and size they want without seeing it in person. That’s what the direct to consumer model was built on. They also have a top notch customer service team to help you understand the right model and size. I bought an ADX because I knew that’s what I wanted and I couldn’t be happier.
Looks like they have more stocking dealers listed on their website than the ones I mentioned. You can use this map and filter by stocking dealer: https://www.prioritybicycles.com/pages/priority-bicycles-dealer-locations

They have a handful of bikes at the NYC office. Just call them and ask to see the one you’re interested in. They’ll accommodate.
Xtracycle store in Mill Valley, CA has a bunch of Priorities, and Destination Cyclery in Dexter, MI has just about every model on the floor.

Priority bikes makes great belt drive, internally geared bikes that are great for this reason!

A friend of mine did the conversion. You need a QR disc wheel with an HG freehub, a 9-spline sprocket and a spacer kit as stated already. It makes a great single speed disc ripper and eliminating the N330 hub certainly lightens the bike up. A bit of an investment for the wheel, sprocket, and belt if you decide to change gearing, but if you’re itching for a custom built single speed belt bike you’re most of the way there already.

Looks great! Nice bracket fabrication up front.

Try using the Pinion Smart.Shift app to calibrate the gearbox. It may not be completely in gear in 8 or 9.

It’s probably just that the sliding dropouts are unevenly adjusted or that the wheel is not fully installed. Loosen the slider bolts and back the tension off the tension bolts, make sure the axle is fully seated, then use the tension bolts to center the wheel and adjust belt tension before locking down the slider bolts.

Consider a belt drive bike. No rusty chain.

What’s your riding experience? Do you find drop bar bikes comfortable?

Priority 600. It has an internal gearbox with an incredibly low lowest gear and a low maintenance belt drive (no rusty chain).

I’m pretty sure Priority has a video showing how to do this (tools as well). I suggest sending them an email.

I’m looking forward to advancements in internal gearing and belt drive. They are great for commuting and touring now, and soon may be refined enough for performance road and gravel.

The housing is routed on the wrong side of the bike. Likely happened during assembly.
Remove your handlebar or shifter and move the shift housing to the non-drive side then reinstall the bar ir shifter. It’ll stay in place on the correct side.

Priority Sauce is single speed belt drive (or 7) and disc brake MTB for less than $1k

Priority 600ADX! Pinion and belt drive. Never going back.
