Priority 600 vs. Breezer Beltway 11+
Hello all,
I am looking to seriously upgrade my bike. Currently, I have a bikesDirect Gravity Dutch Hybrid.
I am looking to upgrade to a belt drive system that has at least a similar gear range (low to high) as my current bike. I am OK spending some money because I'll have it for a while. I ride mostly on paved surfaces, occasionally on packed gravel.
I am looking at the Priority 600 (Pinion gearbox) and the Beltway Breezer (Alfine 11 speed). Any thoughts on one over the other?
Based on a calculator online, my current bike has gear ratios from 1.05 to 3.60.
Priority 600 - 0.55 to 3.3
Breezer Betlway 11+ 0.53 to 2.15
On the Priority, how annoying is the clicking sound on the rear wheel when coasting? How is it to shift when not pedaling? What happens if you try to shift when pedaling?
Thanks!!!

I think @secutanudu intended to attach this gearing diagram to his/her post.

You should get the Priority 600 Bicycle, you won't regret it. I just got mine yesterday. I assembled the bicycle and rode it to work today. I love the idea of the low-to-zero maintenance of the drivetrain, no messy grease to contend with. Super happy with it.
