Thank you for your comment; sincerely appreciate it. I really like the 3-speed and find its 186% or so gearing adequate for off road. Probably, I'll keep riding it as is for now since looking at options yesterday wasn't fruitful. Putting a 29" tire in front really improved the downhill capability and the weak brake makes every excursion exciting. Just don't want to put any stress on the already overworked (and probably facing increased pressure) hospital staff in CA.
