@ascentale@moz@bikenite Can anyone cite the German standard for non-flashing lights? I have a built-in rear light off the front wheel dynamo of my #prioritybicycles 600 and it's steady. I have an additional rear USB light from #pdw and I always run it on flash to save battery life. #bikenite
@ascentale@bikenite Joining bikenite from south central Minnesota on a warm, smokey evening. Wild fires in western Canada are terrible this year and the smoke is already drifting east and south so Air Quality warnings are going up. Which didn’t stop me from a 30 mi gravel ride Tuesday in the last of the rain. New in cycling was getting around to swapping the belt on my #prioritybicycles and the quiet is back in my ride! @bikenite#bikenite
Tuesday Night Gravel last night was a bit damp and smaller groups, but a good day since I got out on the #prioritybicycles. Toured the spring planting. Almost came off over some potholes but managed to keep my seat. Then laid the bike down at the end going over a road construction curb but managed to land on my feet since I was going so slow. Have to do some adjusting today to get things back to proper positions. #tng#BikeTooter#gravel
@RichSPK Yes, a 600. Got it 2 years ago, just over 7k miles. My one and only bike. Gravel, trails, roads, with trailer and/or panniers. Love it. #prioritybicycles
Today’s bicycle task was not to ride, but to fix the sqeek on my #prioritybicycles belt. Only 6800 miles on the belt but due to a user-error event last year it was damaged and while still operating fine, made a loud squeeking noise with every rotation. Even got my Gates cricket to work again and got the tension set. Now that I know to change out the screws every 2nd time and have the proper torque wrench, stuff “magically worked”. Once again, proper tool for the proper job #BikeTooter
@ascentale@DurableAce@bikenite Well, I have a small multi-hex tool that I use more than anything to tighten stuff up periodically. Next to that, my ProTool torque wrench as the tension system on my #prioritybicycles needs to be seriously torqued (15Nm) when adjusting the tension. #bikenite
@ascentale@bikenite I sometimes have that issue with my #prioritybicycles 600, seems to be a bit of a problem for me. But, once I figured it out, I often reverse or change the direction I’m leaning (if possible) and it’s fine. Otherwise I’m using a velco or reuseable twist tie to keep the front wheel from moving when trying to park. #bikenite

If you’re considering purchasing a Priority bicycle and have a Costco membership there are some models available for sale that are a nice discount from the standard price. Such as an e-Classic Plus (now with throttle) in a couple configurations and colors. #prioritybicycles#BikeToot#bikeTooter#cycling#ebike#Costco
I love riding my #prioritybicycles 600 #bicycle around rural #MNastodon We’re finishing the warmest and dryest September on record here and the fields are really close to ready for harvest. I just wish I had the talent to capture the scenes I see. But, it’s what I got from enjoying a great 25 mile ride in “second August”.
Things I do not have to do before a long distance ride: - Make sure my bike chain is lubed - Make sure my bike chain is clean - Check my tyre pressure - Carry a tube, sealant, or pump
@ascentale@sam I have to throw my #prioritybicycles 600 into the mix if you are not into serious off-road touring. It’s a mostly commuter that can handle gravel roads easily and almost any incline. I use it with panniers and a single wheel trailer if I’m touring. The #pinion C.12 is twelve non-overlapping gears so you can go anywhere, you just don’t go fast. #bikenite
