Audax rides

Yep, that makes sense. writing shopping list

Also nervous to ride with my new geared bike as it means I am not entirely sure what would happen if the gears broke. Can manage to keep a fixed running, but the Ultegra stuff on that bike might as well be a Video recorder, cuz as far as I am concerned you need magic to manage servicing it.

as long as you don't bend a gear hanger and your limit screws are set correctly you should be fine. Gears don't go wrong that often if setup well at the start.
