Just to add a little more.

With the gears provided with a 26” tall tire we have at 6000 rpm

1st 50mph
2nd 76mph
3rd 108 mph
4th 146 mph
5th 191 mph

5th @ 2500 rpm = 80mph

rpm drop between gears shifting at 6000 rpm

1st-2nd 2000rpm drop
2nd-3rd- 1750 rpm drop
3rd-4th- 1580 rpm drop
4th- 5th- 1414 rpm drop.

That looks like just about as perfect set up as you could get SpyderMike, nice choice.
