I am looking forward to my current tires wearing out so I can get something with a bit more tread. This Forest has a couple of hills that routinely make that rear wheel spin. So far I have not had to dismount and hope I never do as spinning a rear tire and jumping off the bike does not seem like it would have a tidy conclusion.
@@cc103acs I'm sure not, but TH-cam would like to see it! LOL I'm not sure how long your tires will last... just get the replacements. You can always remount the originals if necessary.
@@leonfisher Back in the days when I was all tubes that was fairly easy. With tubeless, while not difficult, it is just really messy. And I was pretty shocked at the effort it took just to slip both tire beads into the rim. So I will only change when necessary. As for TH-cam bike falls, every time I go up a steep hill and see myself going from 4MPH to 3 MPH I can’t help but wonder at what speed does the bike fall over like in a bad cartoon.
The C-12 that I have on the Priority is fine and the spacing between gears is identical through the shifting range and is very comfortable. That said, as a former roadie, I would like to be able to have a couple more gears for downhill and on-the-flat. The gearing for going up hill under a load, however, is perfect. Comfortable is a good way to put it… very much so.

The smoky skies give these episodes a unique look, for sure.
Nice to see the 600 on the gravel.

Really enjoy your channel Dave...thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your feedback.
I understand the Pinion has a huge range. How do you find the spread between gears? Comfortable?
